This is a federal FAA program for airport sponsors already approved in the Contract Tower or Contract Tower Cost Share Program, funding construction, repair, modernization, replacement, or equipment for airport-owned air traffic control towers. If you are not the sponsor of an eligible public-use NPIAS airport with that FAA approval, do not apply. Small businesses and nonprofits with no airport sponsor role should not bother.

FAA grants up to $100M total for airport-owned air traffic control tower projects at eligible Contract Tower Program airports. Applicants must be airport sponsors approved in the FAA Contract Tower or Cost Share Program and normally AIP-eligible: public agencies, private entities, state agencies, Indian Tribes/Pueblos owning a public-use NPIAS airport, plus certain federal/foreign entities.
The Department of Transportation (DOT), Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) announces the opportunity to apply for up to $100 million in FY 2027 Airport Infrastructure Grant funds for the FCT competitive grant program, made available under the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act of 2021 (IIJA), Pub. L. 117-58. The purpose of the FCT competitive grant program is to make annual grants available to eligible airports for airport-owned airport traffic control tower (ATCT) projects that address the aging infrastructure of the nation’s airports. The FAA will consider ATCT projects that sustain, construct, repair, improve, rehabilitate, modernize, replace, or relocate non-approach control towers; or acquire and install air traffic control, communications, and related equipment to be used in those towers; or construct a remote tower certified by the FAA including acquisition and installation of air traffic control, communications, or related equipment.
See the link to the FY 2027 NOFO for eligibility information. Eligible applicants are those airport sponsors approved in the FAA's Contract Tower Program or Contract Tower Cost Share Program as defined in 49 U.S.C. § 47124, and normally eligible for Airport Improvement Program (AIP) competitive grants as defined in 49 U.S.C. § 47115. This includes a public agency, private entity, state agency, Indian Tribe or Pueblo owning a public-use National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems (NPIAS) airport, the Secretary of the Interior for Midway Island airport, the Republic of the Marshall Islands, the Federated States of Micronesia, and the Republic of Palau. For additional eligibility categories and further details on each eligible applicant category, see AIP Handbook Table 2-1 in the following weblink: https://www.faa.gov/airports/aip/aip_handbook/media/AIP-Handbook-Order-5100-38D-Chg1.pdf.
