Alaska Airlines’ employees over the past 90 years <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The gift recognizes the hard work and resilience of Alaska Airlines’ staff over the past 90 years, and in particular throughout the pandemic. The past 2 years have brought a host of new challenges, restrictions, and regulations to airline staff, and while operations are still far from normal, this gesture is sure to bring some good cheer to the lucky recipients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Based at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, Alaska Airlines was founded as McGee Airways on April 14th, 1932. Today, the carrier boasts a fleet of almost 350 aircraft, and approximately 16,000 staff, all of whom will receive the surprise gift.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The airline\u2019s CEO, Ben Minicucci, joined in the celebrations, stating,<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

“As we celebrate 90 years of flying, we wouldn’t be where we are today without our incredible people who operate nonstop to keep things moving, even throughout a global pandemic. When you think about how many airlines have arrived and gone since 1932, it’s an amazing achievement that we’re still here and stronger than ever \u2013 it’s because of the genuine care and hard work our people bring to our operation every day.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
