Alaska Airlines and the Surfrider Foundation are excited to enter a national partnership focused on protecting coastal habitats through efforts such as reducing plastic waste and engaging employees and communities in beach cleanups across the West Coast and throughout the Hawaiian Islands. Alaska is the first airline to eliminate plastic water bottles, cups, straws, stir sticks and citrus picks from inflight service, annually reducing more than 2.2 million pounds of plastic waste. Alaska has set voluntary sustainability goals for reducing its environmental impact in carbon, waste, and water – including replacing the top five waste-producing items in onboard service by 2025 – and balancing its water footprint through habitat restoration projects. While Alaska takes steps to eliminate plastics, it also encourages guests to join in reducing waste by bringing their own water bottles to #FillBeforeYouFly.
With their recent acquisition of Hawaiian Airlines, Alaska now serves more than 140 destination throughout North America, Central America, Asia and across the Pacific. Alaska Airlines strives to be the most caring airline with award-winning customer service and an industry-leading loyalty program.
