NorthSTAR Program 
The North Sea-Tac Airport Renovation (NorthSTAR) Program is being planned
and delivered in collaboration with Alaska Airlines (AS) to better serve
passengers and improve operational efficiency. This program consists of
modernizing and expanding the north satellite, refurbishing the north
satellite baggage system, and new exterior walkways, stairs and elevators at
Concourse C. The baggage system and Concourse C exterior walkway
projects are complete. The north main terminal project is currently on hold. 
Purpose: 
Improve the travel experience from airport drop-off to flight departure and
working environment for employees 
Outcome: 
Facility modernization; seismic reinforcement; enhanced traveler
amenities; new contact gates; long-term energy savings; and operational
efficiencies

Issues 
Signage updates and holdroom gate counter overhead task lighting
replacement delayed by abatement work scope (PWP #1) 
Revising constructed ground board walkway to provide improved passenger
experience, customer service, wayfinding and weather protection 
Continue discussing with AS a letter revising final concurrence points for
base building from original Letter of Understanding 
Continuing alternatives investigation on Phase II ground board operations
to eliminate potential need for a temporary apron level holdroom facility 
Continuing interior project phasing transition investigations to ensure
balanced gate capacity with reasonable customer level of service during
construction 
Coordinating NSAT gate activation requirements with additional Taxiway
A/B/L/Q improvements to mitigate FAA runway incursion concerns 
Final definition and agreement continues for AS cost sharing items 
North Satellite  Issues 
12

NSAT Renovation & NSTS Lobbies 
Issues (continued): 
Working with GCCM on schedule improvements to maintain agreed upon
project substantial completion date (currently April 2021) 

Risks 
Weatherproofing improvements to ground board walkway may require
temporary closures 
Potential cost increases on remaining PWP #2 bid items (vertical
conveyance) due to strong local construction market conditions 
Budget growth due to bid results during the strong local construction
market, limited resource availability and lack of interest 
Cost and schedule impacts of needed terminal/airside modifications to
transition from Phase I to Phase II construction to minimize impacts to
level of service and operations 
North Satellite  Issues, Risks 
13

NSAT Renovation & NSTS Lobbies 
Risks (continued) 
Accommodating further Port/AS scope changes or detailed analysis that
potentially impacts design and construction schedule 
Impacts accommodating the number of operating gates (12 vs 14) in Phase II 
Resolution of open issues that impact final design and construction 
Complying with FAA Passenger Facility Charges submission requirements 
Schedule impacts due to delayed bidding, final MACC negotiations &
Commission approval 
FAA approvals for NSAT construction authorization applications and taxilane
intersection realignment that mitigates potential runway incursions and
meets Aircraft Movement Area (AMA) wingtip separation requirements 
AS concurrence and continued collaboration with tenant
