US freighter and passenger aircraft operator National Air Cargo has reached agreement with NorthLink Aviation for hardstand terminal capacity at NorthLink’s air cargo terminal at Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport (ANC).
Under the agreement, National will have the certainty and flexibility to continue to grow its operations at the fourth busiest air cargo airport in the world.
NorthLink has already entered into a 55-year concession for a 120-acre property on ANC’s South Park campus and is developing infrastructure for aircraft parking, fueling, deicing, and related warehouse and office space.
Said Christopher Alf, Chairman, National Air Cargo Holding: “Our agreement with NorthLink Aviation will enhance our growing global airline operations and service offerings.
“The state-of-the-art facility at Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport will position National at one of the busiest cargo hubs in the world.”
Said Sean Dolan, CEO of NorthLink: “We understand the critical importance of ANC to National’s global operations and are eager to build a long-term partnership with the National team.”
With the continued growth in air cargo volumes between Asia and North America, NorthLink will provide air carriers with the infrastructure to refuel, deice and exchange cargo safely and efficiently at ANC, capitalizing on the airport’s strategic location and unique commercial opportunities.
National Air Cargo, based in Florida, operates six B747-400Fs together with two passenger aircraft: an Airbus A330-200 and a Boeing 757-200.
In November 2021, Tiger Infrastructure Partners acquired a controlling interest in IC Alaska Airport, which had secured a 120-acre, 55-year lease at ANC. IC Alaska Airport was later renamed NorthLink Aviation.
