There’s something fishy in the air and the rumor is it has something to do with Alaska Airlines’ newest themed aircraft.*

Employees can be the first to cast their eyes on the new aircraft during special Potlatch celebrations in Seattle on Oct. 1 and Anchorage on Oct. 2...........*

Although the new aircraft livery remains a secret, those who have seen the design describe it as a unique work of art. “It’s hands down going to be the most intricately painted aircraft in the world,” said Greg Latimer, director of brand and product marketing. “I hope employees will come out, bring their families and see it for themselves.”*

The events and special paint scheme are being funded by the Alaska Fisheries Marketing Board, which is partnering with Alaska Airlines on the project. “There is no way we could even entertain such a project if we had to incur this cost ourselves,” Latimer said.*


The Seattle event is scheduled from 1 to 4:30 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 1, at the Alaska Airlines Maintenance Hangar at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport. The aircraft is scheduled to arrive at 2 p.m. (Note: The time and place of the event have changed since the first notice in Alaska’s World.)
