AGP Executive Report
Last update: 11 hours agoCruise Season: Juneau welcomed a record 1.73 million large-ship passengers in 2026, its fourth straight annual high. A voluntary limit of five ships and roughly 16,000 passengers a day did not stop the increase, and the city is still weighing how much cruise traffic it can handle. Weather and Travel: A powerful Gulf of Alaska storm brought gusts up to 60 mph, offshore seas near 40 feet and snow on the upper Haines Highway. Forecasters also warned of snow, freezing rain and strong winds on the Kenai Peninsula, creating difficult driving conditions. Ferry Service: The Alaska Marine Highway’s Columbia remains sidelined in Ketchikan as crews await an engine piston from Germany; officials have not said when the vessel will return to service. Kenai Airport: The FAA has put the country’s first digital air traffic control towers into operation at Kenai Municipal Airport and a Florida airport. Cameras provide controllers with a 360-degree view, while people continue to manage aircraft traffic.
