Lezi zibonelelo, ezokuqala cishe ezibalelwa ezigidini ezingama- $ 3.2 zoxhaso olutholakala ngalolu hlelo minyaka yonke, zizohlinzeka ngo- $ 76 wezigidi kuChicago O'Hare International, eDallas-Fort Worth International naseFort Lauderdale / Hollywood International Airport.

Lezi zikhumulo zezindiza ezintathu zithola izimali ngaphansi kwemigomo ye-Letters of Intent eyayikhishwe yi-FAA phambilini, ezibophezela ohlelweni lwemali yesibonelelo esabalele eminyakeni eminingi yezimali. Nikeza imiklomelo ifaka phakathi:

• IChicago O'Hare International izokwamukela u- $ 25 million ukubuyisela isikhumulo sezindiza esigabeni sokwakhiwa kweRunway 9C / 27C okubandakanya izinsiza zesiza, umsebenzi wokugreda nophansi. I-Runway 9C / 27C yathunyelwa ngoNovemba 5, 2020.
• IDallas-Fort Worth International izothola u- $ 31 million wokwakha amamitha ayi-10,200 empumalanga yeNortheast ezungeze uhlelo lwamatekisi ukuqeda isidingo sezindiza zokuwela imigwaqo esebenzayo. Imigwaqo yamatekisi kulindeleke ukuthi iqedwe ngoSepthemba 2025.
• IFort Lauderdale / iHollywood International izothola u- $ 20 million ukubuyisela isikhumulo sezindiza ukwelula iRunway 10R / 28L ifike ezinyaweni ezingama-8,000. Ukwelulwa kuvumela inani eliphakeme lezinsizakalo zezindiza futhi kunciphise ukubambezeleka kwethrafikhi ekhona. Isandiso se-Runway 10R / 28L saqedwa futhi saqala ukusebenza ngoSepthemba 18, 2014, futhi konke ukwenziwa ngcono okuhlobene nakho kwaqedwa ngoSepthemba 2015.

"Iphrojekthi ngayinye yesikhumulo sezindiza ihlinzeka ngenzuzo kuNational Airspace System ngokuphepha nangokwenza ngcono amandla," kusho uMphathi we-FAA uSteve Dickson. "Njengomshayeli wamabhanoyi wangaphambili, ngingazibonela ngawami ukuthi umphakathi ojikelezayo usizakala kakhulu uma uhlelo luphatha izidingo ngaphandle kokubambezeleka okungadingekile."

Uhlelo Lokuthuthukiswa Kwesikhumulo sezindiza luxhasa amaphrojekthi engqalasizinda yezikhumulo zezindiza njengemigwaqo yezindiza, imigwaqo yamatekisi, izimpawu zezikhumulo zezindiza, ukukhanyisa esikhumulweni sezindiza nokumaka esikhumulweni sezindiza. Ngonyaka, uhlelo loxhaso luxhaswe cishe ama- $ 3.2 billion. Lezi yizibonelelo ezintathu zokuqala zezibonelelo ezingaphezu kwezi-1,500 eziya ezikhumulweni zezindiza zase-US ezizokhishwa yi-FAA kulo nyaka.
