From FAI to ANC and Aias
The Alaska department of transport and public facilities has appointed Angie Spear as the new director of the Alaska International Airport System (Aias). Spear brings over 18 years of aviation experience with her, having served as the manager of Fairbanks International Airport (FAI) since 2018, and most recently as the interim manager of Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport (ANC). She’s also been interim director of Aias since spring 2024.
As Aias’s director Spear will focus on enhancing both ANC and FAI, to further strengthen Alaska’s position as a global gateway for passenger and cargo transport. Together these airports contribute billions of dollars to the state’s economy annually, providing crucial connections for Alaskans, commerce and international markets. (cj)
