This is a very important place in the global air cargo system and one that we feel will become more important over the next decade. Recognizing some quite important supply chain advantages as a result of shifts in markets, sourcing patterns, regulatory issues, GLDPartners is working at ANC with the Anchorage Economic Development Corporation and the Airport (which is owned by the State of Alaska) to develop the Airport area to be a strategic supply chain/value-add manufacturing center. Called the Alaska AeroNexus, we are projecting that ANC's connectivity to major Asian and North America markets is creating a natural supply chain point for bidirectional shipping in sectors like pharma, electronics, and automotive components especially the burgeoning autotech sector. We are working with corporate supply chain leaders in these areas now about an Alaska presence. We are also in serious discussions with various 3PLs about the specific business offer for Alaska as a specialized product for their customers.
