AIP) Supports Investment in Alaska Airports How the Federal Airport Improvement Program (AIP) Supports Investment in Alaska Airports • 155 airports in Alaska have identified $1.5 billion in unfunded improvements needed over the next five years that would be eligible for AIP grants. • There are 4,796 aircraft based at these airports, with 4.7 million enplanements each year. • Over the last decade, Alaska airports have received 545 grants worth a total of $2.4 billion through the AIP. • 70 percent of that funding—$1.7 billion—has gone towards projects that included the construction, repair, upgrade or rehabilitation of airport runways, aprons or taxiways.

  • Notice of Adjustments to Service Obligations
    Served: May 12, 2020 UNITED STATES OF AMERICA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY WASHINGTON, D.C. CONTINUATION OF CERTAIN AIR SERVICE PURSUANT TO PUBLIC LAW NO. 116-136 §§ 4005 AND 4114(b) Docket DOT-OST-2020-0037 NOTICE OF ADJUSTMENTS TO SERVICE OBLIGATIONS Summary By this notice, the U.S. Department of Transportation (the Department) announces an opportunity for incremental adjustments to service obligations under Order 2020-4-2, issued April 7, 2020, in light of ongoing challenges faced by U.S. airlines due to the Coronavirus (COVID-19) public health emergency. With this notice as the initial step, the Department will use a systematic process to allow covered carriers1 to reduce the number of points they must serve as a proportion of their total service obligation, subject to certain restrictions explained below.2 Covered carriers must submit prioritized lists of points to which they wish to suspend service no later than 5:00 PM (EDT), May 18, 2020. DOT will adjudicate these requests simultaneously and publish its tentative decisions for public comment before finalizing the point exemptions. As explained further below, every community that was served by a covered carrier prior to March 1, 2020, will continue to receive service from at least one covered carrier. The exemption process in Order 2020-4-2 will continue to be available to air carriers to address other facts and circumstances. Background On March 27, 2020, the President signed the Coronavirus Aid, Recovery, and Economic Security Act (the CARES Act) into law. Sections 4005 and 4114(b) of the CARES Act authorize the Secretary to require, “to the extent reasonable and practicable,” an air carrier receiving financial assistance under the Act to maintain scheduled air transportation service as the Secretary deems necessary to ensure services to any point served by that air carrier before March 1, 2020.

  • FAA Capstone Program, Phase II Baseline Report Southeast Alaska
    FAA Capstone Program, Phase II Baseline Report Southeast Alaska Prepared by: Matthew Berman Wayne Daniels Jerry Brian Alexandra Hill Leonard Kirk Stephanie Martin Jason Seger Amy Wiita prepared for: Federal Aviation Administration Alaskan Region April 2003 Institute of Social and Economic Research University of Alaska 3211 Providence Drive Anchorage, Alaska 99508 This page intentionally left blank EXECUTIVE SUMMARY FAA CAPSTONE PROGRAM, PHASE II BASELINE REPORT • SOUTHEAST ALASKA Why This Study? This report describes air safety and aviation infrastructure in southeast Alaska as of December 31, 2002. It establishes a baseline to enable the University of Alaska Anchorage (UAA) to evaluate how the Capstone program affects aviation safety in the region. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) contracted with UAA’s Institute of Social and Economic Research and Aviation Technology Division to do a variety of training and evaluation tasks related to the Capstone program. That program is a joint effort of industry and the FAA to improve aviation safety and efficiency in selected regions of Alaska, through government-furnished avionics equipment and improvements in ground infrastructure. The name “Capstone” is derived from the way the program draws together concepts and recommendations in reports from the Radio Telecommunications Conference of America, the National Transportation Safety Board, the Mitre Corporation’s Center for Advanced Aviation System Development, and representatives of the Alaskan aviation industry. The first phase of the program began in southwest Alaska in 1999. Phase II began in March 2003. The Phase II area–the Capstone Southeast Alaska region– includes all of southeast Alaska and extends west along the Gulf of Alaska to Cordova.
