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.

be available for media interviews.
