Fleet
Alaska Airlines (IATA: AS, ICAO: ASA) has served passengers since 1932, when it began as McGee Airways. Today it operates a substantial North American network spanning the continental United States, Canada, Mexico, and Hawaii, with 128 destinations worldwide and a fleet of 342 aircraft.
The airline maintains four major hubs: Seattle-Tacoma International, Ted Stevens Anchorage International, Portland International, and Los Angeles International. These hubs position Alaska as a key carrier for West Coast and Alaska route networks. The carrier is a member of the Oneworld alliance, connecting passengers to partner airlines globally.
Alaska's fleet blends narrow-body jets (Airbus A320/A321 families, Boeing 737) with regional turboprops (Embraer E-175, Bombardier Dash 8) to serve markets ranging from major metropolitan routes to smaller regional airports. The modern A321neo aircraft support the airline's network expansion strategy.
