Alaska's Anchorage airport forges public private partnership
A new Alaskan business partnership has been formed to promote the air freight cluster around Alaska's Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport (ANC).
Alaska AeroNexus brings together the Alaska International Airport System, the Municipality of Anchorage and Anchorage Economic Development Corp (AEDC), reports London's Air Cargo News.
It aims to increase economic opportunity, growth and diversification in the state through enhanced coordination efforts in aviation and air cargo-based industries around the world's fifth largest air cargo hub, second largest US airport for air cargo commerce and international trade between the US and Asia.
ANC handled 2.4 million tonnes of cargo in 2014 and is located less than 9.5 hours from 90 per cent of key global markets.
Integrators FedEx and UPS have transpacific sorting facilities at the airport, with cargo a key airport revenue earner, representing 80 per cent of the business at ANC, according to the airport authority.
The new alliance will provide a partnership for the three organisations to plan and coordinate common action, leverage resources and aggressively pursue economic opportunities and investments from in state, national and international business interests.
Said AEDC chief executive Bill Popp: "Unifying our efforts will result in significant new business investments. We are optimistic about the opportunities the new partnership will bring to the state."
