0  My name is Andrew Harrison, Chief Commercial Ofcer of Alaska Airlines

and I am here to make a brief statement in relation to Alaska's support of

0  First off Bio fuels - I want to re-assure the commission that Alaska Airlines

remains committed to furthering the commercial viability of bio fuels in
partnership with the Port.

> In 2009, Alaska Airlines was the rst US. carrier to join the Sustainable

Aviation Fuel Users Group,

> In 2011, we ew 75 commercial ights using biofuel.

> In 2015, we became the rst airline to conduct an alcohol-to-jet aviation

biofuel testight.

> Our long-term goal remains to be able to use biofuels consistently at one of

our major hubs, and we want it to be SEA.

With that said, I believe we have a signicant imperative in the here and now,

which is executing SLOA IV by the end of 2017.

At the risk of stating what I believe everyone acknowledges, but bears repeating,

SeaTac is in the midst of:

- Unprecedented trafc growth, both domestic and international













- Unprecedented facility constraints

- Unprecedented competition between large signatory carriers (no need to
expand on that)
- Unprecedented capital spending on infrastructure.

The reason I am passionate about the execution of SLOA IV, is that in order to

manage through this critical period of highly constrained infrastructure and ensure

the successful completion of Billion-dollar capital programs on time and on
budget, we all need to work together like we have never done before. SLOA IV
will provide a rm foundation for this co-operation. I don't believe SLOA III gets

us there, not even close

SeaTac is now the 9th largest airport in the United States and highly constrained,

the big leagues, and we need a sophisticated and forward thinking lease to be able

to help us all operate at the highest level to ensure SeaTac is positioned for the
challenges that lay ahead.

Thank you for your time
