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.
