This is the first time since 2008 that the convention will take place in Alaska. This convention, hosted by the Alaska Department of Transportation & Public Facilities & NASAO, will bring together aviation professionals from across the country to discuss emerging industry trends, while providing the opportunity to explore Alaska’s unique aviation system.
