Alaska Airlines was the first airline to compost and remove single-use plastic straws and citrus picks from planes and its lounges and has been champion of sustainable aviation biofuels since 2011.
With roots tracing back to 1932, it was founded when Linious “Mac” McGee of McGee Airways started flying his three-seat Stinson between Anchorage and Bristol Bay, Alaska. A merger with Star Air Service in 1934 created the largest airline in Alaska, which eventually became Alaska Airlines. In 2016, it brought together two of the country’s favorite airlines into a united force with the acquisition of Virgin America (NASDAQ: VA). The combination expanded its service and added more frequent connections to international airline partners in thriving technology markets in the Bay Area, Los Angeles and Seattle.
Alaska Airlines and Horizon Air are subsidiaries of Alaska Air Group.
