Alaska Airlines is a US airline headquartered in SeaTac, Washington. Founded in 1932 as McGee Airways, it is one of the largest carriers in North America and has been a member of the oneworld alliance since 2021.

Its main hub is Seattle–Tacoma International Airport, with further hubs in Anchorage, Portland, San Francisco, Los Angeles and San Diego. Alaska serves more than 120 destinations in the United States, Canada, Mexico, Central America and the Caribbean, and Horizon Air and SkyWest fly regional routes under the Alaska brand.

In September 2024 Alaska Air Group completed its acquisition of Hawaiian Airlines. The two airlines now share one operating certificate and one loyalty program, Atmos Rewards, while keeping both brands. The Hawaiian 787 fleet has let Alaska launch long-haul flights from Seattle to Asia and Europe, including Tokyo, Seoul, London, Rome and Reykjavík.
