Alaska Airlines welcomes first 787 widebody aircraft in new global livery

Alaska Airlines welcomed the first Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner painted in its new global livery. The exterior design draws inspiration from the natural wonder of the Aurora Borealis, featuring a palette of deep midnight blues and lush emerald greens that channel the aurora’s energy and spirit of the Alaska brand. Utilizing a new aircraft painting technology, it took artists nearly 1,000 hours across 13 days to paint the aircraft exterior from nose to tail.
