May 20, 2015 - 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.
