The Territories Airport Support Act of 2025 modifies federal funding rules for airports in economically disadvantaged areas, particularly focusing on U.S. territories. The bill updates which airports qualify for special cost-sharing arrangements under federal airport improvement grants, expanding eligibility to include airports in U.S. territories that historically received essential air service subsidies. This change affects airports in Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Guam, American Samoa, and the Northern Mariana Islands, which serve as critical infrastructure for these island communities. The bill essentially improves the federal government's financial contribution toward airport infrastructure projects in these territories, making it easier for them to receive federal matching funds for necessary upgrades and maintenance. The legislation was introduced in December 2025 and referred to the House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure for consideration.
