President-elect Donald Trump voiced support for funding transportation projects during the campaign, so aviation officials said Wednesday they hope he will back improvements at airports and in the air-traffic control system.

Trump outlined his priorities for his first 100 days in office during a speech Oct. 22 in Gettysburg, Pa., wher he lamented the country’s lack of spending on roads and bridges while doubling the national debt to $20 trillion during the Obama administration.

Trump proposed funding $1 trillion over the next decade on infrastructure through public-private partnerships and private investments from tax incentives, with his campaign specifically mentioning airports among the mix of projects.

"We are going to fix our inner cities and rebuild our highways, bridges, tunnels, airports, schools, hospitals," Trump said early Wednesday in declaring victory in the campaign. "We're going to rebuild our infrastructure, which will become, by the way, second to none. And we will put millions of our people to work as we rebuild it."

Airports heard that message with an ear toward increasing in the cap on local taxes added to each airline ticket. Airport have long urged an increase in the cap to $8.50 from the current $4.50 set in 2000, to fund construction projects such as improving terminals or adding gates. But airlines have opposed the increase in so-called passenger facility charges, saying it would discourage travel.
