About Us

Alaska Air Cargo serves 100-plus destinations across North America with more than 1,300 daily flights, offering a variety of reliable shipping products, a long history of cold-chain innovations and unmatched customer service throughout our network. We are the only passenger airline in the U.S. with dedicated cargo planes, and our freighter fleet serves 20 communities across the state of Alaska, as well as Seattle and Los Angeles in the lower 48. We also offer belly-cargo service on more than 300 passenger planes serving the continental U.S., Canada, Hawaii and Mexico.

Where we fly

  • Coast to coast: Our cross-country network is growing, with more than 700 nonstop routes and new flights added every season.
  • West Coast: We are the only domestic airline based on the West Coast, and we offer more nonstop flights up and down the West Coast – and from the West Coast across the country – than any other carrier.
  • California: We offer more cross-country nonstops from San Diego than any other airline, and as of fall 2024, we will have more West Coast nonstops from Los Angeles than any airline. We are also the only passenger carrier with twice-weekly freighter service between LAX and Anchorage, via Seattle.
  • Hawaii: Our same-day, cross-country connections include the most nonstop flights from the West Coast to Hawaii.
  • Alaska: We’ve been proud to serve remote communities across the state of Alaska for more than 90 years. Many of those communities are accessible only by plane or barge, and we are still the largest scheduled carrier in the state.

Our Fleet

  • Our dedicated freighter fleet includes fuel-efficient 737-800 and 737-700 aircraft.
  • Our freighters can carry up to 50,000 lbs.
  • Our belly-cargo capacity continues to grow as we add more routes across North America on our fleet of over 300 passenger aircraft.

Our service

  • Nine decades of cold-chain expertise: We’re committed to delivering seafood and perishables in pristine condition to over 100 destinations. From our temperature-controlled cold-chain systems to our dedicated training for all agents, we treat your products with the utmost care.
  • A range of shipping services tailored to meet every need: Our next-flight-out GoldStreak Package Express carries time-sensitive and lifesaving shipments, and we also offer Priority Air Freight and General Air Freight.
  • We fly greener: We strive to reduce our environmental impact — emissions, fuel, waste, materials and energy — to protect the communities where we live, work and fly.
