Alaska Airlines is a major American airline headquartered in SeaTac, Washington, within the Seattle metropolitan area. It is the fifth-largest airline in North America when measured by scheduled passengers carried, as of 2024. Alaska, together with its regional partners Horizon Air and SkyWest Airlines, operates a route network primarily focused on connecting cities along the West Coast of the United States (including Alaska and Hawaii) to over 100 destinations in the contiguous United States, the Bahamas, Belize, Canada, Costa Rica, Guatemala and Mexico.
The airline operates out of six hubs with its primary hub at Seattle–Tacoma International Airport.[6] Alaska Airlines is a member of Oneworld, the third-largest airline alliance in the world.[7] As of 2020, the airline employs over 16,000 people and has been ranked by J.

In 2024, the airline's parent Alaska Air Group completed an acquisition of Hawaiian Airlines.
