Historical Overview of Alaska Airlines
For more than 70 years, Alaska Airlines and
its people have been guided through thick and thin by a shared
commitment to integrity, caring, resourcefulness, professionalism
and spirit. Especially spirit - an Alaskan spirit, born in the
land the airline is named after - a place where "can-do"
and "neighbor-helping-neighbor" are facts of life.
The result? A long list of aviation milestones,
as well as countless stories of people going out of their
way to help others - both in the course of business and in
the support of organizations that makes our communities better
places to live.
In the process, Alaska has grown from a
small regional airline to one of the most respected in the
nation. Carrying more than 12 million customers per year,
Alaska’s route system spans more than 40 cities and
three countries. The Alaska Airlines fleet of 102 Boeing jets
is one of the youngest among all major airlines. And its reputation
for outstanding service consistently earns best U.S. airline
recognition from the likes of Travel + Leisure and Condé
Nast Traveler magazines.
