Alaska Air Group is a Seattle-based airline flying passengers and freight to about 120 destinations across North America, operating mainline, regional, and Horizon services.
Revenue came from ticket and freight sales, totaling USD 14.24B in 2025. The business is low-margin, with operating income of USD 0.30B and net income of USD 0.10B, showing thin profitability.
Alaska's West Coast hub network and loyal customer base provide some protection, but competition from Delta Air Lines, United Airlines, and Southwest Airlines on key routes pressures pricing. Moat is eroding as these carriers expand in its core markets.
