History
Alaska Airlines has been serving people for 90 years. It started in 1932 and the first flight was scheduled to be flown between Bristol Bay and Anchorage. The company struggled a lot initially, due to the Great Depression. Linious Mac McGee, the founder of this airline, sold it to Star Air Service in 1935 only to come back and operate the airline for selling liquor to the local communities in Alaska. Many mergers took place and the airline was bought and sold several times before it got the name “Alaska Airline” in 1944. Since then, the popularity of Alaska Airlines has grown by leaps and bounds.
