Alaska Airlines and their Special Livery Aircraft

by Matt Falcus

Alaska Airlines always adds a bit of variety for the aviation photographers out there by introducing special liveries and decals to many of its aircraft.

These are often to commemorate special events, people, colleges, or are a commercial tie-in to promote something like a movie or band.

We’ve put together this visual list of all the known special liveries currently flying with Alaska Airlines (and their partner Horizon Air).

(You can find out a little more about Alaska Airlines’ history in our look at its fleet through time here)
