Notable history

Began as McGee Airways in 1932 in Anchorage; took the Alaska Airlines name in 1944. Joined oneworld alliance in March 2021. Completed the acquisition of Hawaiian Airlines in September 2024 for $1.9 billion plus debt; the two carriers operate as separate brands under Alaska Air Group while integrating loyalty and codeshares.

About this profile

Reference data (codes, headquarters, founding year, alliance, ownership) is curated from each carrier's own published materials, the US DOT BTS Form 41 filings, and SEC filings for publicly-listed carriers. Fleet rosters reflect the active in-service fleet at the time of the most recent data refresh; aircraft on order are not counted toward fleet totals. Average fleet age is calculated from the same active fleet.

Hubs and focus cities are sourced from the carrier's own destinations or about pages. Loyalty program partner lists are drawn from each program's published partner roster.

This profile is re-verified on a recurring monthly cadence aligned to the US DOT BTS Form 41 release schedule.
