Ketchikan Gateway Borough, Alaska is providing an opportunity for public comment until February 14, 2024 related to our proposed new Impose and Use Passenger Facility Charge (PFC) Application #3 for the Ketchikan International Airport. This written notice is provided in accordance with requirements contained in Federal Aviation Regulation 49 CFR Part 158.24 Passenger Facility Charge.
Ketchikan Gateway Borough plans to impose the maximum PFC allowable of $4.50 per enplaned passenger. We anticipate collection to begin on August 1, 2028, with a total revenue impact of $11,800,000. The PFC expiration date for the two projects is estimated to be August 1, 2054. Future PFC projects will likely extend the expiration date.
The increased charges are intended to help pay for the Terminal Building Expansion and Rehabilitation project. See the full notice on the Borough's Airport webpage for project information: https://www.kgbak.us/897/Terminal-Area-Plan
Comments or a request for more detailed project descriptions should be sent to Alex Peura, Airport Director, 1000 Airport Terminal Building, Suite 10, Ketchikan, Alaska, 99901.
