BWI Complete Air Safety Projects

$15 million in safety upgrades will ensure the continued safe and efficient operation of aircraft at the Baltimore Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport (BWI). U.S Deputy Transportation Secretary John Porcari said “not only are we keeping Marylanders at work, we are also improving airport safety and efficiency.” Porcari lauded the ongoing safety, environmental, communications, and utility projects at BWI. When completed next year, BWI’s reconstructed aircraft parking apron between Concourses C and D will allow for more efficient operations among larger aircraft and service vehicles. The projects also include a new environmentally friendly deicing fluid collection system and new communications and utility systems. FAA Administrator Randy Babbitt said “these projects will ensure that BWI continues to meet the safety needs of the airport and traveling public.” This $15 million grant is one of the largest awarded by the FAA. Without it, construction on this critical $41 million project could not have gotten under way. The rest of the project is being funded by the FAA’s Airport Improvement Program funds and BWI Airport.
