- What it does
- The objectives of the AMJP program were to help businesses that are primarily engaged in aircraft manufacturing activities and services, or aircraft maintenance, repair, and overhaul activities and services, to retain or rehire employees. Financial assistance payments must be used to retain current employees or to recall employees who were previously laid off or furloughed. As part of the American Rescue Plan Act enacted on March 11, 2021, the AMJP program provided up to $3 billion for the aviation manufacturing and repair industry.
- Who benefits
- Eligible businesses that met all of the requirements were the direct beneficiaries of the program. Their employees were indirect beneficiaries. Other businesses that rely upon the aviation manufacturing and repair industry have also benefitted indirectly. This included air carriers, air cargo carriers, corporate flight departments, and individual aircraft owners and operators.

- Business entities that (i) Actively manufactures an aircraft, aircraft engine, propeller, or a component, part, or systems of an aircraft or aircraft engine under a Federal Aviation Administration production approval; or (ii) Holds a certificate issued under part 145 of title 14, Code of Federal Regulations, for maintenance, repair, and overhaul of aircraft, aircraft engines, components, or propellers; or (iii) operates a process certified to Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) AS9100 related to the design, development, or provision of an aviation product or service, including a part, component, or assembly.

How to read these numbers
- Committed through this program
Money committed under this assistance listing (its CFDA program), counted in the year each action happened.
- How it's paid
Most programs pay out one way — a grant, or a direct payment to individuals; the flow bar only appears when a program genuinely mixes types.
- Some recipients aren't itemized
For entitlement programs like Social Security and Medicare, the government reports one aggregate instead of naming tens of millions of people, so the recipient roster isn't part of the public record.
- Awards, counted once
An award count is the number of distinct awards with at least one action that year — each counted once, however many times it was amended.
- The colored bars
Every bar on this page splits by how the money moves:
