对航站楼的“巨大”需求

Joel Bacon, American Association of Airport Executives executive vice president for government and public affairs, said in an interview that the new program is "obviously a welcome step forward."

Bacon added, "The demand for terminal projects and upgrades is huge at airports across the country. You're dealing in many instances with buildings and facilities that are decades old and built for traffic levels much smaller than we have today and security requirements that are much different than we see in the wake of 9/11."

"There's tens of billions of dollars of documented terminal projects on the books at airports across the country, so demand [for the new grants] will far exceed the supply of federal funds."

Bacon said, "With traffic returning to the system following the pandemic, it's good timing to have some federal resources in the queue to help airports address ongoing terminal needs."
