Alaska Air Group Has Reduced Emissions Intensity By 30 Percent

Improvements Made Over The Past 10 Years

Alaska Air Group, the parent company of Alaska Airlines and Horizon Air, has reduced its mainline flying emissions intensity by one-third over the last 10 years through fleet advancements and flight technology. These advances have avoided burning 531 million gallons of fuel since 2004 — the equivalent of taking one million cars off the road for a year.

Additionally, Air Group reported record financial results, enabling it to invest in local communities and strengthen the long-term future of its workforce.

This is among a series of goals and accomplishments highlighted in Alaska Air Group's newly-released 2014 Sustainability Report, which summarizes the company's progress on environmental, social and economic goals.

"Beyond our basic commitment as a company to provide safe, reliable and affordable transportation, we are focused on ensuring our business goals are in balance with the needs of our communities," said Alaska Air Group CEO Brad Tilden. "We have made great strides in the last year to embed sustainability into every level of our business."
