What are the cutoff times for the various air carriers in Anchorage?
A. Thank you for asking. This is a very significant question particularly in view of tighter security by everyone. The Northwest Airlines freighter departures from Anchorage to the domestic U.S. depart at approximately noon. The cutoff time at Movers, Inc. is 9:00 a.m. The FedEx and UPS freighter departures are approximately mid afternoon. The cutoff time at Movers, Inc. is 11:00 a.m. For all carriers that have approximate midnight departures from Anchorage, the cutoff time at Movers, Inc. is 9:00 p.m. For many years, we have been able to coax, cajole, and beg carriers to take shipments well after the normal cutoff times. This will be much less likely in the future. Everyone is taking the new age of security very seriously and these requirements are causing freight and paperwork processing by the air carriers to take longer.
