AAAE’s Innovation Program, ACT, to Host First 2026 Innovation Event at KBFI 

 Tuesday, April 21 | 10:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m PT

AAAE’s innovation program, the Airport Consortium on Transformation (ACT), is partnering with King County International Airport – Boeing Field (KBFI) to host the program’s first Innovation Engagement of the year on Tuesday, April 21, at Boeing Field.

ACT Innovation Engagements bring airport leaders on-site to see real-world innovations in action. These peer-driven experiences provide insights into planning, partnerships, funding, and operations — equipping participants with actionable strategies they can apply at their own airports.

With the ACT CEO Steering Group identifying airport electrification as a top priority for the Consortium, KBFI stepped forward to hosting this event and help drive the conversation forward. As a recognized leader in electrification—particularly among non-hub airports — KBFI is showcasing how meaningful innovation in this space can be both practical and scalable 

During the program, attendees will gain insights into:

• KBFI leadership’s overall electrification vision and implementation roadmap

• Airport and King County Metro Transit fleet electrification efforts

• Modern Aviation’s (an FBO at KBFI) tenant-focused electrification initiatives

• ACT member WSDOT’s grant programs supporting electric infrastructure development

These engagements are centered on seeing innovation in action. As part of the program, the airport will showcase its electric ARFF Volterra — the first of its kind in the United States — along with an electric airfield sweeper and additional electric fleet vehicles in active operation.

We hope you’ll join us to see these technologies firsthand and explore how they can help shape your airport’s sustainability roadmap — register today!

Please note, registration for this event is exclusively available to members of our Airport Consortium on Transformation (ACT).
