Block Grant States are defined as states that receive a block of AIP money for distribution to which airports?

• A. Non-primary, GA and GA Reliever airports
• B. Primary commercial service airports
• C. International hubs
• D. Military airfields

Answer: (A)

Block Grant States use a single AIP block that the state distributes to non-primary civilian airports, including general aviation and GA reliever airports. This arrangement targets smaller facilities that don’t generate enough enplanements to qualify for separate entitlement funding. Primary commercial service airports have their own entitlement allocations based on enplanements, while international hubs and military airfields are funded through other programs or channels, not through this state-level block grant mechanism.
