What is required by Grant Assurance #19 concerning airport operations?

Grant Assurance #19 requires that airports maintain operations in a SAFE and SERVICEABLE condition. This means that safety should be the highest priority in airport management, ensuring that all facilities and operations meet the required safety standards. The assurance emphasizes the importance of upkeep and functional operations to protect the safety of passengers, employees, and aircraft. Furthermore, a serviceable airport facilitates effective operations for both commercial and private flights, contributing to the overall reliability and efficiency of aviation services.

Ensuring that an airport is both safe and serviceable also aligns with broader regulatory compliance and fosters trust among users and stakeholders in the aviation community.
