Our organization, mission, and culture:

This also includes rural airports across approximately 40,000 square miles of Southwest Alaska. We are the "moving" in the DOT&PF mission to "Keep Alaska Moving". Our crews maintain the airport and roadways in all conditions, year around. Whether plowing snow in near "white-out" conditions; maintaining roadways safely for the traveling public; repairing asphalt on paved surfaces; conducting security inspections on airport; maintaining airport lighting systems; clearing rights-of-way and airport safety areas of vegetation overgrowth; these are just a few of the situations you can find us in while making the difficult seem routine day after day. We truly Keep Alaska Moving!
