OUR PEOPLE Care starts here

At Alaska and Horizon, we've fostered a culture where people go the extra mile, whenever and wherever they can.

Our culture of care

Part of what makes Alaska and Horizon special is our people. They have a genuine passion for what they do and share in our values, which serve as the foundation for navigating the world around them.

Kevin K., Line Aircraft Technician Trainer

"Owning safety to me means having situational awareness at all times. An airport environment is so busy 24/7, always knowing your surroundings can save your life every day without you realizing it. And using established procedures to perform duties, those procedures are in place for a reason!"

Sandy S., VP Strategy, Analytics & Transformation

"As a leader, you do not have all of the answers. Your role is to unlock the creativity and talent of diverse teams and let them discover the answers. Great leaders are honest and vulnerable – with themselves and with others. When you are truly honest, you will do the right thing. This is true in good times and essential when times are tough."

Rovena C., Lead Customer Service Agent ANC

"I love that we can help fix someone’s trip that was ruined or start them off with a great experience on their trip of a lifetime or just simply sending them off to see loved ones…but most of all the group I get to work with. "

Stephanie H., Senior Software Engineer

"As a senior software engineer, I enjoy working at Alaska Airlines because they are open to modernization and innovation for solving our business problems. I have been encouraged to not only share new ideas but also think through the realistic implementation of those ideas and the business impact they would bring. Alaska has helped me grow by challenging me to step out of my comfort zone to learn new skills, processes, and tools."

Andrea H., Flight Attendant LAX

"I love Alaska because we are a family. We are a company of people with a rich heritage and a bright future. There is something special about Alaska, an essence that sets us apart. No other airline provides the warmth that our people embody like we do. I believe that is evident to our people and our guests. Alaska has a strong foundation. We continue to set standards for the airline industry in safety, customer service and innovation. It is a privilege to be a part of an excellent company that values their people."

We’re committed to our people

We want team members to bring their full selves to work every day and are dedicated to increasing representation at every level across the company through diversity, equity and inclusion.

Delivering on our commitment

"Alaska’s values — own safety, do the right thing and be kind-hearted — are the foundation of who we are and what drives us to be the airline people love. Diversity, equity and inclusion are about valuing each person’s uniqueness and life experiences so the world can see, learn and benefit from diverse perspectives. Our success depends on it."

— Ben Minicucci, Alaska Airlines President & CEO
