Alaska Airlines: Alaska Airlines Flight
built 500 days ago
Alaska Airlines wasn't content to watch Virgin America and American Airlines race to see who would be the first to offer in-flight WiFi. So they've jumped into the game with a plan to offer satellite 'net access on at least one flight by next spring. And Alaska is going a different way, choosing the Row 44 to develop its system, rather than market powerhouse AirCell.

Alaska Airlines has a virtual monopoly on air access to Fairbanks (FAI) outside the summer tourist season and is therefore the most convenient airline to book travel on. Alaska Airlines has direct flights to Fairbanks from Seattle (SEA) and Anchorage (ANC). Anchorage is directly served from both Seattle and Chicago (ORD).

Alaska Airlines, in collaboration with its employees, make significant contributions to cancer research and other humanitarian causes. The Alaska Airlines corporate giving program focuses on several areas of emphasis, including education, medical research and emergency response, and social/community services. In addition to the Hutchinson Center, beneficiaries include the Make-A-Wish Foundation, American Red Cross, American Cancer Society, Northwest Medical Teams, the Pacific Science Center and Junior Achievement. Employees follow the lead by giving their own time and dollars to causes such as cancer research benefit events and student mentoring programs. Alaska Airlines serves Athena water, whose net profits support research for women's cancers, on all flights nationwide.

Alaska Airlines announced that it will begin testing a satellite-based in-flight Wi-Fi service next year, possibly equipping its entire fleet. Using a system from Row 44, which is designed to work over water and international borders, Alaska Airlines said the service should work on all of its scheduled flight paths. The airline says it plans to test the service on one 737 starting in the spring.
