Alaska Airlines’ sustainability report champions climate action, social impact, commitment to people and greener travel


Each year, Alaska Airlines issues a report on its environmental and social impact, sharing data, progress, learnings and stories. In the pages, the firm shares its successes where it is hitting its targets, areas of improvement, and what it has learned throughout the previous year. 

The airline knows there will always be more work ahead – there is no “mission accomplished” when it comes to the environmental and social impact. Alaska Air promises to keep pushing forward with care, innovation, pragmatism, accountability, transparency and partnership to ensure that aviation is a positive force in our world.

Last year, the firm announced new commitments to reduce our climate impacts with goals for carbon, waste, and water. It also committed to new diversity, equity, and inclusion goals as part of its responsibility to make Alaska a place where everyone feels like they belong. This year, Alaska Air began making these a reality and this week the airline issued its latest report and an update on its progress.
In 2021, Alaska Airlines focused on improving operational efficiency with procedures and technology that enable it to minimize the amount of fuel it actually burns. These include implementing route optimization software Flyways, taking delivery of new Boeing 737 MAX aircraft, improving use of electric ground power and air and continuing to evolve its ground fleet toward lower-emissions options. The airline also focused on jump-starting the market for sustainable aviation fuels, which have the greatest power to decarbonize aviation in the next several decades.
