US airports: 2020 election clouds new USD2 trillion financing plan

There has been little love losT between the Republican and Democrat political parties in the U.S., especially since the election of President Trump in Nov-2016.

But now, and in the wake of the failure of a Presidential 'Infrastructure Plan' that was proposed at the beginning of 2018, it looks as if those two parties and others may work together to implement a new, and bigger one. U.S. President Donald Trump and top Democrats are pushing for a USD2 trillion infrastructure plan.

This would have clear implications for airport infrastructure financing, but it is not yet evident whether the government would prefer investment in existing facilities, or in new ones.
