DEAR COMMUNITY,
The mission of the Port of Seattle is to create good jobs here by advancing trade and commerce, promoting
manufacturing and maritime growth, and stimulating economic development.
Our vision is to add 100,000 jobs through economic growth led by the Port, for a total of 300,000 port-related
jobs in the region, while reducing our environmental footprint. We are committed to creating opportunity for
all, stewarding our environment responsibly, partnering with surrounding communities, promoting social
responsibility, conducting ourselves transparently, and holding ourselves accountable.
Beginning in 2017, the Port of Seattle is using a rolling 5-year Long Range Plan to focus our e orts to best
accomplish this job growth and the other 25 year strategic objectives established by the Commission in the
Century Agenda (see page 5).
Over a hundred Port employees developed the Long Range Plan over the last year, representing divisions and
departments from across the Port. These teams of subject matter experts connected their work to the goals of
the Century Agenda and developed strategies, objectives, actions, and performance measures focused in ve
areas: aviation, maritime, economic development, the environment, and high-performance organization.
John Creighton                  Tom Albro                Stephanie Bowman
What follows is our rst Long Range Plan for the years 2017 through 2021. The Plan is organized around the             Commission President           Commission Vice President             Commissioner
strategic objectives identi ed in the Century Agenda and those pertaining to organizational excellence. It cuts
across all departments and divisions of the Port and spans annual budget periods.
The intention of the Long Range Plan is to bring all capabilities of the Port to bear in the work of achieving our
goals. For each strategic objective, the Plan sets out the key actions and performance measures we will use to
guide the work and monitor progress.
The Long Range Plan shapes the annual budget and ensures that all Port divisions have speci c, achievable
actions to keep up with the dramatic growth in our industries and create economic opportunities for all in our
community.
The Long Range Plan will be updated and formally adopted by the Commission each year, launching our
budget process. We hope you will follow our progress and we welcome your input.
Sincerely,

Fred Felleman                Courtney Gregoire                  Ted Fick

Air Cargo Volume (Metric Tons)
Space Utilization
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 (see page 9).

Port of Seattle is committed to increasing the capacity of existing facilities, which can be accomplished through lean initiatives and other efforts to streamline
passenger or vehicle flows. There is also focus on enhancing systems (e.g. baggage makeup) to reduce down time, which effectively increases capacity.
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.
