PRIORITY ACTION 1: INCREASE AIRLINE CARGO CAPACITY 
Airlines, operating both freighter and passenger aircraft services, perform the actual work of shipping air
cargo into and out of the region using Seattle-Tacoma International Airport. The extent of routes, the
number and frequency of services, and the size and capacity of specific aircraft used, define the overall
capacity for moving air cargo through the airport. The purpose of this action is to bring in additional
airline carriers and add routes, and to support the capacity growth of existing airlines at Seattle-Tacoma
International Airport. Air cargo is carried aboard by both freighter and passenger aircraft at Seattle-
Tacoma International Airport, with freighters handling 54% of total cargo and the remaining 46% termed
"belly cargo" as it travels in the bellies of passenger flights, along with passenger baggage. Two thirds of
all international freight is carried as belly cargo, emphasizing the significant synergy between
international passenger service and air cargo. While the air cargo team at Seattle-Tacoma International
Airport actively markets airport services to airline freighter operators, passenger airline routing
decisions are made on the basis of passenger demand and reflect the strategies of the air service
development team. The Air Cargo team is working closely with the Air Service Development team to
market the full suite of Seattle-Tacoma International Airport's capabilities for both passenger and cargo
particularly to interested international airlines.

LONG RANGE PLAN: CENTURY AGENDA 
POSITION THE PUGET SOUND REGION AS A PREMIER
STRATEGY 1 
INTERNATIONAL LOGISTICS HUB 
2018 Milestones: 
Add at least one freighter airline service on a new or underserved route with Sea-Tac Airport to
add incremental air cargo capacity, dependent upon sufficient cargo handling space availability. 
Provide business and marketing intelligence to Passenger Service Route Development team to
attract additional belly-cargo capacity, dependent upon sufficient cargo handling space
availability. 
PRIORITY ACTION 2: EXPAND ON- AND OFF-AIRFIELD CARGO FACILITIES FOOTPRINT 
Consistent with the airport's Sustainable Airport Master Plan, airfield air cargo facilities will be
relocated, redeveloped, or built new, on or directly adjacent to the airfield. Existing air cargo facilities
not directly impacted by terminal expansion will require redevelopment to increase their processing
efficiency. Preferably, the total inventory of air cargo warehouse facilities needed to support airline
cargo capacity will remain on the airfield, however if insufficient area exists in the future, adjacent offairfield
land may be needed to bridge the gap, either on an interim basis, or permanently. 
2018 Milestones: 
Conclude negotiations, if necessary, to re-tenant available warehouse vacancy of approximately
35,000 square feet of airfield cargo handling space inventory. 
Sponsor development of airfield-adjacent Port-owned land for groundbreaking in 2018, to
provide additional cargo handling space to accommodate growing air cargo tonnage. 
PRIORITY ACTION 3: BUILD STRATEGIC LOGISTICS PARTNERSHIPS 
Sponsor the development of all available Port-owned land in the airport vicinity for use by air cargo and
other logistics, manufacturing, and other supportive uses that contribute to growth in air cargo tonnage
at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport. Enhance global logistics presence at Seattle-Tacoma
International Airport and in the region. 
2018 Milestones:
Ribbon-cutting in 2018 for Burien/NERA cargo-related logistics development (ground-breaking

KEY METRICS 
Million annual passengers that can be accommodated (Primary) 
Passenger airline cost per enplaned passenger (CPE) 
Specific airline rates (e.g., landing fee, Federal Inspection Station (FIS) rate, etc.) 
PRIORITY ACTION 1: COMPLETE AND IMPLEMENT THE SUSTAINABLE AIRPORT MASTER PLAN (SAMP) 
SAMP will identify the facility requirements to accommodate the 20 year forecasted growth at Seattle-
Tacoma International Airport (through 2034). Completing SAMP includes conducting the environmental
review, assessing financial feasibility and obtaining Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) approval.
Efforts will then take place involving additional planning and programming to develop projects for
incorporation into the Port of Seattle Aviation division capital plan. 
2018 Milestone: Start public scoping of environmental review. 
PRIORITY ACTION 2: RENOVATE EXISTING FACILITIES TO MAINTAIN CAPACITY 
Reinvesting in existing assets is critical to maintaining and enhancing capacity. Facilities and
infrastructure must be replaced and/or upgraded. Major projects underway include: the renovation and
expansion of the North Satellite. Planning is underway to renovate the South Satellite. 
2018 Milestones:

2018 Milestones: 
Complete Asset Management Gap Assessment by Q3. 
Obtain commission authorization and funding to implement strategy in Q3. 
Implement recommended actions by Q4 2018. 

PRIORITY ACTION 4: KEEP AIRLINE COSTS COMPETITIVE 
The primary measure of airline costs at an airport is the passenger airline cost per enplaned passenger
(CPE). Rigorous budgeting and cost control are key to managing operating costs. Managing long-term
capital costs requires a strategic trigger driven capital plan and a financing plan that maximizes the
efficiency of Passenger Facility Charges (PFCs) through leverage and one that seeks to maximize FAA
grants. Growing non-aeronautical revenues reduces borrowing needs and increases the ability to
directly offset airline costs through revenue sharing. To keep airline rates competitive, the Port of
Seattle will continue to maintain a balanced funding plan that allows PFCs to be deployed to cost centers
where needed to reduce rate base costs. 
2018 Milestones: 
Implement new airline agreement. 
Evaluate the potential for public private partnership (P3) in connection with implementation of
Sustainable Airport Master Plan (SAMP) projects.

pursuit with safety 
PRIORITY ACTION 1: EXPAND SAFETY SOLUTION TEAMS THROUGHOUT THE PORT 
Bolster employee engagement by providing meaningful training to ensure compliance as well as
motivating safety behaviors. Provide an opportunity for employees to have a voice in safety
improvement by utilizing the LEAN 8-step problem model. This model has been successful implemented
in Aviation Maintenance and Landside Operations. The team analyzes injury data, observes operations,
determines point of cause, creates countermeasures, and evaluates effectiveness of countermeasures
and integration of new process or methods to reduce workplace injuries. We will expand this model to
other organizations in 2018. All new Safety Solution teams will participate in 8 step problem solving
training.
2018 Milestone: Develop countermeasures to reduce workplace injuries. 
PRIORITY ACTION 2: MINIMIZE OCCUPATIONAL HAZARDS EARLY IN THE DESIGN PROCESS 
"Safety by Design" is a concepta way of thinkingthat is translated into a process that effectively
addresses hazards and risk in the design process. There is a correlation between quality management
and safety through design principles. The same system design and continuous improvement processes
that ensure that a product meets quality, cost and completion time expectations will also ensure that
safety expectations for maintaining facilities and systems are met. Health and Safety will partner with
design review teams and Project Management Team to ensure that safety specifications are adhere to,
and hazards are eliminated during the design process, and work with functional maintenance staff that
participate in the project scope of work and design review.
