Plan for a billion-dollar airport network faces Congress
The Civil Aeronautics Administration seeks a 1.25 billion postwar airport program funded by federal grants with a 50 fifty cost share. It would upgrade 1,625 existing airfields and build 3,744 new ones across 15,000 towns under five airport classes, prioritizing class 1 and 2 facilities. The plan, pending congressional approval, would use state agencies to contract and oversee construction with local sponsors, aiming to modernize U.S. air transport and spur postwar employment.
