Phase II (2013-2019) Project Schedule

Prior AASP Studies

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 addressed. Phase I of the plan spanned 2008 to 2013, with a wide range of topics addressed, and Phase II is underway from through mid-2019. Phase I topics are addressed at Deliverables 2008-2013 and documents can be downloaded from the Documents Tab.
