There’s Probably a Permit for That…
What are you doing at the airport? If you are on ANC property providing a commercial service or sharing a message to people traversing the airport, chances are you need a permit. To make sure you have the permit and information you need to appropriately operate at the airport, please contact Brandon Tucker in our leasing department for help at brandon.tucker@alaska.gov.
Holiday travel and Parking:
Even outside of the holidays, ANC’s short-term and long-term parking options have been full lately. We highly encourage travelers to have a plan so they may avoid frustrations and delays. The cell phone parking lot can be used to avoid a parking dilemma, and it is FREE. The cellphone lot is conjoined with the DOT&PF Central Region Headquarters (the Upside-down building) parking lot – minutes away from ANC. Only vehicles conducting active loading/unloading should be at the curb. Click HERE for directions. Another good parking option is the North Terminal Pay Parking lot where the first half hour of parking is free.
