Phase II (2013-2018) Project Schedule

Prior AASP Work

The Alaska Aviation System Plan (AASP) updates were completed in 1986 and 1996. In 2008, the DOT&PF began a continuous aviation system planning process, where ongoing airport system planning is conducted, prior work updated, and emerging issues are addressed. Phase I of the plan spanned 2008 to 2013, with a wide range of topics addressed, and Phase II is underway from 2013 through 2018. Phase I topics are addressed at Deliverables 2008-2013 and documents can be downloaded from the Documents Tab of this site.
