As agreed, IC Alaska Airport will be renamed as NorthLink Aviation, which will develop the air cargo terminal on the south campus of ANC with equity capital from Tiger Infrastructure.
The terminal will feature 11 hardstands with dual-hydrant fuelling systems, an air cargo warehouse with temperature-controlled facilities and capabilities to recover and recycle glycol used for de-icing aircraft.
The facility will also have office space for customers and the operations team.
Once complete, the air cargo terminal will help air carriers to refuel, de-ice and exchange cargo at the airport.
