Our Values

We’re celebrating women who love what they do at Alaska Airlines and Horizon Air – three of whom know our planes inside and out in San Francisco.

“I try to lead and make others feel comfortable,” Tizzard says. “This work is my passion, and there’s no greater thing you can do with life and work than to follow your passion in a way that serves you and the world.”

The National Forest Foundation’s work to protect 193 million acres of forests and grasslands is supported by millions of miles donated by Alaska Mileage Plan members.

Our people are the heart of our business, and the reason we’re an award-winning airline. Today, we’re awarding more than $130 million in annual bonuses to recognize their passion, dedication and hard work. For most employees, this equates to more than 7% of their annual pay in 2019, about a month’s extra pay.

If you’ve ever wanted to fly for a living, work on planes or help passengers on their journeys, this could be the year to come work with us and jump into the fast-growing world of aviation. Alaska Airlines and Horizon Air are announcing plans, as part of a 2020 jobs forecast, to hire nearly 2,800 employees in the coming year.

Like many Hawaiian words, “kuleana” is a complex term that is difficult to express concisely in English. Kuleana embraces multiple concepts, including integrity, responsibility, stewardship, courtesy, tradition and respect for nature (and natural hazards). Before you fly to paradise on Alaska Airlines, learn how to protect the things that make Hawaii special.

Working hard, and well into the night, has never been an issue for TJ Spring, a 20-year Alaska Airlines aircraft technician in Seattle’s Maintenance & Engineering Department. “It takes a lot to defy gravity, and it’s remarkable to be part of a team making that happen,” he says.

Evergreens dishes up fast, healthy lunch options across the Pacific Northwest – and Alaska guests can now enjoy the growing Seattle company’s Beets So Fly salads inflight.

For Ciara, who wrapped up 2019 after a hot streak of accomplishments, the next decade is bound to bring wondrous things, indeed. Read January’s Beyond Magazine cover story.

UNCF uses LIFT Miles donated by Alaska Airlines Mileage Plan members to fly students at historically black colleges and universities home for the holiday break, as well as send them to career-development events like the annual HBCU Innovation Summit. 

This year,  Alaska is getting in the holiday spirit by offering priority boarding to anyone wearing a holiday sweater on Dec. 20, National Ugly Holiday Sweater Day. We’re also offering holiday-inspired beverages and cocktails in our lounges, and we debuted a holiday-themed plane dubbed the “Snowplane.” Hear how our CFO Russell Wilson and Ciara are spending their holiday.

This weekend, our annual Fantasy Flight arrived at the “North Pole” to bring smiles and holiday cheer to 65 children, many of whom live in shelters or transitional housing.
