Our Airports Are Important.

While we are lucky that Alaska doesn’t yet have the pressures that threaten airports that some parts of the country are seeing, we need to be proactive to stay ahead of the game.

To help us understand some ways to deal with threats to airports, Carol Ford from the California Pilots Association will give a talk entitled, Three tiered approach to saving airports: Lessons from California. In a separate talk she will address airport managers and operators on Why an airport managers association is a good idea. 

There will also be a presentation on How to Go Broke Building a Hangar, and on insurance for airport owners and tenants. 

Finally, airport managers from across the state will share their issues and concerns at the Airport Managers Issues session, moderated by Jane Dale from the Palmer Municipal Airport.
