Ready for winter weather

The airport now has three new de-icer storage tanks, each with a 9,000 gallon capacity. The storage tanks hold a liquid de-icer, E36. The new tanks are just one more way the airport is becoming more prepared for winter weather, including ice and snow.

Employees take virtual certification course

Congratulations to the six county employees who have passed the exam to date for the certification course provided by the American Association of Airport Executives (AAAE). 

KCIA recently sponsored a virtual certification class for the Certified Member course. The one-week course included four modules:

• Finance and Administration
• Planning, Construction, and Environmental
• Airport Operations, Security, and Maintenance
• Communications and Community Relations

About a dozen KCIA employees from ARFF, Engineering, Finance, Operations, and Maintenance took the certification course, along with a handful of other airport employees from Sea-Tac, Skagit, Auburn and Arlington airports. Not all have taken the test yet. About a dozen current KCIA employees already have the certification, bringing the total to about 18. Good luck to those yet to take the exam, we're pulling for you!
