2003 transportation directory.

• Position: Alaska transportation industry

Where would Alaska be without its transportation industry? One would hate to even imagine.

Much of Alaska is without roads and dependent entirely on barges and planes. Without the transportation industry, Bush Alaska would be without supplies for a long cold winter. Without the transportation industry, houses could not be built. Without the transportation industry, there would not be enough food to go around. You could not furnish your household. There would be no airline trips to the Lower 48 or beyond.

The companies in this listing provide every kind of service imaginable. They fly milk into rural communities, provide flight-seeing tours to tourists and transport oil out of state. The 109 companies that make up this listing provide a vital service to Alaskans. Without them, Alaska, as we know it today, would not exist.

We owe a lot to these companies. Please take a few moments to look through this handy reference tool and see just how diverse the industry is.

Not every company that provides transportation services in Alaska is listed here. Only those who returned surveys are included. If you know of a company that should be listed and isn't, please contact Celeste Barrett at 276-4373. Information can also be faxed to 279-2900, e-mailed to circ@akbizmag.com or mailed to P.O. Box 241288, Anchorage, AK 99524-1288.
