Several years ago, former U.S. President Donald Trump compared the airports in the New York City area to third-world countries.
While Trump took some criticism, he wasn’t that far off, as many American airports were decrepit and badly needed renovation or improvements.
Thanks to a bipartisan infrastructure bill two years ago, many airports across the country used the influx of cash, or are using it, to renovate their respective facilities. The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act earmarked $5 billion for airport terminal improvement projects as part of an overall budget of $20 billion for airports in 2022.
