Albany International Airport, which is located in New York’s capital city, has been awarded $2 million in funding to support ongoing efforts to modernize and improve the airport’s facilities. The funding was announced by U.S. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, who has been a vocal advocate for investing in transportation infrastructure in New York State.
The $2 million in funding will be used to upgrade the airport’s baggage screening and handling systems, as well as its public address and information systems. The improvements are part of a larger effort by airport officials to make the facility more efficient and user-friendly for travelers.
Schumer said in a statement, “Upgrading our airport infrastructure is critical to boosting tourism and business travel, and it’s essential to creating good-paying jobs. This funding will help modernize the Albany International Airport and make it an even better gateway to New York State.”
Albany International Airport has been growing steadily in recent years, thanks in part to its location near New York’s state capital and major highways. In 2019, the airport handled more than 2.2 million passengers, making it one of the busiest airports in upstate New York.
The airport has also been investing in new amenities and services to enhance the passenger experience. In recent years, the airport has added new restaurants, expanded its parking facilities, and upgraded its Wi-Fi network.
Basically… The $2 million in funding awarded to Albany International Airport is good news for travelers and the local economy. The airport is a key transportation hub in upstate New York, and the upgrades will help it stay competitive and attractive to passengers and airlines alike.
