OMNIBUS Bill Passes: AIP Funded for Over $300 Billion
© flickrsven



Tuesday the Senate approved the omnibus Bill that will provide funding for DOT, FAA and a few other federal departments and agencies. The bill provides the funding through fiscal year 2009.

The highly controversial measure, which includes a total of $3.515 billion in AIP funding and addresses other airport priorities , contains some 9,000+ earmarks, which President Obama said would not be there.

The $3.515 billion in AIP funding provided by the omnibus comes in addition to the $1.1 billion for AIP grants included in the stimulus package, bringing total AIP funding for the fiscal year to a record $4.615 billion.
