We couldn’t PASS up the chance to show off our favorite quarterback! This special aircraft takes “Love, Respect & Care” to new heights and celebrates the values that Russ shares with Alaska. It will fly throughout Alaska’s network, including taking fans to away games throughout the football season.
Recently, we unveiled our latest special aircraft in honor of our Chief Football Officer (CFO) Russell Wilson, who’s the best at showing up for his hometown and team—including our own.
Wilson has been part of Alaska since 2013, after his rookie year playing professional football. We value his nonstop spirit, dedication to community & ability to always go above and beyond.
This is the fourth livery we have done in celebration of Russ. The 737-900 jet recently rolled up to the gate in Seattle to the delight guests who were headed to Indianapolis—where Russ kicked off his first game this season.
