What is the Military Airport Program?
The Military Airport Program (MAP) is a grant set aside from the Airport Improvement Program.
Through this program, the FAA awards grants to current or former military airfields to assist in converting them to civil use and to reduce congestion at existing airports experiencing significant delays. The MAP provides financial assistance to the civilian sponsors who are converting, or have already converted, military airfields to civilian or joint military/civilian use.
To aid in this process, MAP grants may be used for projects not generally funded by the AIP, such as building or rehabilitating surface parking lots, fuel farms, hangars, utility systems, access roads, and cargo buildings.
