Northern Region Planning

Aviation Planning

The Alaska DOT&PF Aviation Planner serves Northern Region communities by identifying aviation transportation needs and developing projects to secure FAA funding. It manages airport master plan updates, area planning studies, public involvement, and CIMP (Capital Improvement & Maintenance Program) inspections at DOT&PF airports. The division also coordinates with communities to support projects and ensure safe, efficient air travel across the region.

Aviation Capital Improvement Program (ACIP)

The Aviation Capital Improvement Program (ACIP or AIP) outlines future capital aviation projects, like how the Statewide Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) plans highway projects. Both guide Alaska's infrastructure development in partnership with federal agencies.

Alaska Aviation System Plan

The Alaska Aviation System Plan (AASP) shapes the future of Alaska's aviation network by addressing infrastructure and policy needs. It identifies necessary airport improvements, sets funding priorities, proposes aviation policies, and documents the existing system with photos, maps, and data. Guided by the FAA and aligned with DOT&PF's Statewide Long Range Transportation Plan, the AASP evolves to support the system through ongoing studies, updates, and reviews. More Information (AASP)
