Fleet

Alaska Airlines operates a mainline fleet consisting of primarily Boeing 737 series aircraft and a regional fleet with Alaska-branded Embraer 175 jets by the Alaska-owned regional airline Horizon Air and contractor SkyWest Airlines. Alaska Airlines operated with an all-Boeing 737 mainline fleet from August 25, 2008, until January 11, 2018, when Alaska officially merged with Virgin America and took possession of its fleet of Airbus aircraft. The airline is working to return to operating an all-Boeing 737 mainline fleet, with the transition expected to be complete by the end of 2023. The current cargo fleet consists of three Boeing 737-700 freighter jets that were formerly passenger aircraft.
