The DOT&PF is conducting an aviation system planning study for airports serving the residents, visitors, agencies, and businesses of the Denali Borough. It is essential to the viability of this study that all stakeholders have a voice in the process. There are no foregone conclusions in the planning process; the data and stakeholder input inform the outcome. Recommendations can range from ‘do nothing’ to constructing a new airport, and anything in between.

The DOT&PF is contracted with RESPEC Company, LLC (RESPEC; formerly PDC Engineers) to lead the consultant team, which includes DOWL, Uqaqti, Information Insights, Liebowitz-Horton, Dryden Industries, and Marshal Arts Design. We are Alaskans, planning for the future, together.
