This concession will start sometime in August 2026. • The Federal Aviation Administration's Air Traffic Division is transitioning from the Federal NOTAM System (NOTAM Manager) to the new NOTAM Management System (NMS). This process will begin this summer. Airport staff and the Kenai Fire Department will be required to setup Login.gov credentials, complete NMS training, and stay informed and engaged via monthly airport meetings, monthly User forums, and email communications.

M �y BRAND NEW AIR TRAFFIC CONTROL SYSTEM AMERICA 15 BUILDING AGAIN G i Federal • • • • • F31 ATO led the effort to select Kenai airport. The following are reasons why Kenai was selected as the first RT site in Alaska: Existing FAA Owned Tower— Provides operational backup and a side -by -side baseline to validate RT performance o Access & Logistics— Proximity to Anchorage Operational Complexity -- Mix of traffic and paved/gravel/seaplane surfaces generates meaningful RT evaluation data o Safety & ATC Service Continuity —Existing FCT remains fully operational, no gaps in ATC services o No Operational Disruption — RT site allows deployment with no impact to ATCT and daily operations o Strategic Visibility — ENA becomes the model for how RT could be deployed across Alaska FAA LOB Alignment— AJT, AJV, and ANG are aligned on ENA as the first site, enabling a coordinated FAA approach _ 9 �' Federal Aviation �:'�% Administration [32] Success of the Remote Tower implementation at Kenai by September 2026 is defined as the following: Single center camera mast deployed Modular Remote Tower Cab connected to the center camera mast Controller Working Position is functional in the RTC - Demonstration system fully optimized Established Roadmap for Kenai RT Upgrades NOTE: Initial deployment will utilize rapidly deployable camera mast and RTC facility collocated to meet deadline. This style of implementation will greatly reduce necessary site preparation. 10 J Federal Aviation Administration 33 Notional Schedule April -Sept 2026 April May June July August Sept INITIATE SITE PREP BEGIN CONFIGURING FINALIZE SITE PREP CONNECT THE BEGIN RTS & RTC SITING THE RTS CENTER MAST TO CONFIGURING SURVEY FINALIZE SITE BEGIN CENTER MAST THE RTC THE RTS CONTRACTS THE RTC FINISH LOCATIONS BEGIN CONFIGURING INSTALLATION BEGIN � - PROCUREMENT FREQUENTIS BEGIN TO BEGIN RTC CONSTRUCTION CONFIGURING INITIATE 7460 ASSEMBLE THE RTS IN DEMONSTRATION RTS INSTALLATION AND INSTALLATION THE RTC OPERATIONAL COLUMBIA, MD OF RTS FULLY OPTIMIZED ENVIRONMENTAL RTS ASSESSMENTS Federal Aviation Administration [34] Contract Awarded Site Surveys Completed Civil Works for RTC Completed Factory Acceptance Testing Complete RTC Delivered Civil Works for Center Mast Completed Rapidly Deployable Center Mast Delivered Rapidly Deployable Mast Installation Complete RTC Installation Complete RTS Optimization Complete RTS Operational 12 Milestones May 3rd 2026 June 121h 2026 July 3rd 2026 July 17th 2026 July 24th 2026 July 315t 2026 Aug 3rd 2026 Sept 7th 2026 Sept 7th 2026 Sept 25th, 202 Sept 30th 2026 FAA Frequentis FAA Frequentis FAA FAA Frequentis Frequentis Frequentis Frequentis FAA & Frequentis Federal Aviation .

Although the runway has been paved, Runway 02L/20P remains CLOSED. 1 Construction activity will be less noticeable over the next few weeks while the pavement cures. Grooving and striping activities are expected to begin in early to mid -September.
