Fairbanks International Airport (FAI) Master Plan

Welcome to the Fairbanks International Airport Master Plan project website. The DOT&PF Northern Region has begun an update of the Master Plan for FAI. Working with PDC Engineers as lead consultant, this plan will address the aviation needs for the Fairbanks area for the next 20 years. The intention is to satisfy aviation demand, be compatible with the environment and support other transportation modes, airport plans and area development.

Coordination with the Alaska International Airport System Plan will ensure system compatibility. The Master Plan will set a course and provide guidance for future aviation investment in support of the Fairbanks community and the state. This two year process will include engagement of area wide stakeholders.

Project Update

There was a Public Open House at the Noel Wien Public Library November 16, 2011. The project team was available to discuss more about the Master Plan process, and to gain input from the publlic about issues to be included in the Master Plan.

Over the last couple of months, the project team has been contacting leaseholders, tenants, airport users and airport personnel to gather existing conditions and facility information. This initial inventory is key and will set the base for the subsequent planning tasks.
