Aviation i n Alaska is a huge economic engine, contributing approximately $3.5B annually to the state’s economy. The people of Alaska are eight times more likely to use aviation as transportation than people in the rest of the country. With more than eight in 10 of the state’s communities only accessible by air or water, much of the state is dependent on aviation for access to fresh foods, mail, and healthcare. Alaska Department of Transportation and Public Facilities owns and operates 240 of the 400 public use airports in Alaska. Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport (ANC), Alaska’s largest airport, serves approximately 5.4 million passengers annually. ANC is also a cargo airport second only to Memphis in the U.S and among the top five globally. In 2008, the Alaska Aviation System Plan estimated a total of about $100M in deferred maintenance.
