Larger, more-advanced passenger-cargo aircraft part of airline’s $100 million

                       investment in cargo service

  WHEN:   Thursday, Feb. 1, 11 a.m. Alaskan time

  WHAT:   Alaska Airlines will hold a media briefing at Ted Stevens
          Anchorage International Airport to introduce the airline's first
          Boeing 737-400 "combi" aircraft. The two combis introduced to the
          fleet this week are part of the airline's $100 million plan to
          improve passenger and cargo service in the state of Alaska.
          Converted to transport passengers in the back and main-deck cargo
          in the front, the 737-400 aircraft have more cargo capacity,
          more-advanced flight-guidance capabilities and more-comfortable
          passenger cabins than the 737-200 combis they replace.

  WHO:    Bill MacKay, Alaska Airlines' senior vice president, Alaska, will
          be available for media interviews.
