U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy made a stop in Anchorage on Tuesday, joining members of Alaska’s congressional delegation at Ted Stevens International Airport for a roundtable discussion on aviation.

The conversation focused on the opportunities and challenges of air travel in Alaska, where many communities depend on it for essential connections.

“We need some investments in a state where 82% of our communities can't be reached by road,” Duffy said. “So if we're going to bring people and supplies and services into our communities, we use aviation and we need it to be safer.”

Following the roundtable, Duffy toured the Don Young Port of Alaska to wrap up his visit in Anchorage.
