State seeks comments on Dillingham Airport land permit extension
The Alaska Department of Transportation and Public Facilities is accepting public comments through May 20, 2026, on a proposal to extend a land permit at Dillingham Airport for Alaska Pride Air, LLC.
The permit covers approximately 9,235 square feet at Lot 1H, Block 500A, and would be extended for five years. The company uses the space for customer vehicle parking, snow storage, and staging freezer vans for fish hauling operations. Annual rent is $1,819.30 plus associated fees.

The permit supports Alaska Pride Air's commercial aviation operations at the airport, which serves as a hub for Bristol Bay's fishing industry.
Written comments or competing applications must be sent to Kristy Despars, Aviation Leasing, Central Region, PO Box 196900, Anchorage, Alaska 99519-6900. She can be reached at (907) 269-0743. Hearing impaired callers may use Alaska Relay at 711.
