“As we see supply chain challenges mount, air cargo provides that solution … Our community understands that a cargo flight delivers economic benefits to the region, not just revenues like a passenger flight does.” – Alex Lowe, Development Manager, Global Network (Cargo) at Edmonton International Airport Check out episode 2 of "Faces of Air Cargo" for unique insights on how air cargo plays a crucial role in connecting Edmonton, Alberta to the global marketplace.

Today, we released our 2023 U.S. Airport Infrastructure Needs Report: Growing Needs Heighten Urgency to Modernize America’s Airports. ACI-NA estimates that America’s airports need $151 billion over the next five years to fund necessary infrastructure projects, up more than 30 percent from $115 billion just two years ago. “Investment in U.S. airport infrastructure continues to lag behind the industry’s needs, and that gap continues to grow,” said ACI-NA President and CEO Kevin Burke. “Continued infrastructure investment and reduced regulatory burdens for America’s airports will support good-paying jobs, stimulate the economy, advance important environmental goals, and improve the passenger experience for millions of travelers. It’s time for Congress to make meaningful reforms in how it funds America’s critical airport infrastructure.” See our policy solutions here: https://lnkd.in/eVQ2n7ph #airports #infrastructure #infrastructureinvestment #airtravel

Infrstructure Week 2018 highlights need for airport infrastructure projects
This week, we visited Tampa International Airport with our partner Building America's Future for an Infrastructure Week 2018 event focused on the growing need for airport infrastructure projects across the country. Our nation's airports are economic drivers in their communities, supporting 10 million jobs and contributing $1.1 trillion to the U.S. economy. American airports have $100 billion in necessary infrastructure projects. Meeting those needs would create new jobs and additional benefits to the communities our airports serve. The longer we wait to meet the infrastructure needs of our airports, the more expensive it will be. Now is the #TimeToBuild
