SYRACUSE, N.Y. — The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has awarded Syracuse Hancock International Airport more than $2.4 million for improvement projects.

The U.S. Department of Transportation awarded the funding through the airport-improvement program (AIP), which the FAA administers.
The AIP provides grants to public agencies for the planning and development of public-use airports that are included in the National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems (NPIAS). Funds obligated for the AIP are drawn from the Airport and Airway Trust fund, which user fees, fuel taxes, and other similar revenue sources support.
