HORIZON AIR STORY

Horizon Air: behind the name are men and women with a “can-do” spirit and a passion for excellence. Launched in 1981, Horizon Air provides service to cities throughout California, Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, Baja California Sur (Mexico), and British Columbia and Alberta (Canada). Together, Horizon Air and sister carrier Alaska Airlines serve more than 90 cities and are subsidiaries of Alaska Air Group Inc. (NYSE:ALK).

It’s a heartfelt approach, as much as technological innovations and customer-pleasing onboard service, that is at the core of the “Horizon experience”. This has brought us national and international recognition: Horizon Air was named “Regional Airline of the Year” by Air Transport World magazine in 2007 and was also ranked among the top 10 domestic single-class airlines by Travel+Leisure magazine readers from 2002 through 2009. .
