Alaska Airlines is gearing up for the upcoming summer season by planning to add the northernmost Boeing 737 MAX 8 flight to its schedule. According to AeroRoutes , the Seattle-based airline will launch a corridor between Anchorage (ANC) and Utqiaġvik (BRW) in June 2025, using the narrowbody. Introducing the 737 MAX 8 on the route Alaska Airlines' flight, operating between Anchorage International Airport (ANC) and Utqiaġvik Wiley Post–Will Rogers Memorial Airport (BRW), will begin on June 12, 2025, using a fleet of Boeing 737 MAX 8.
The service will run daily through August 19, 2025. It is worth noting that the AeroRoutes report states that the last time the Boeing 737 MAX 8 operated on this route was between July 23 and July 29, 2024. At present, the route is operated once a day but with different aircraft.
The airline uses either Boeing 737-800s or Boeing 737-700s for this service. No other US carrier is competing on the ANC to BRW route with Alaska Airlines, making the airline a sole player in this market. Alaska Airlines is an all-Boeing operator.
Currently, the airline operates a total of 238 Boeing 737s, including 79 Boeing 737-900ERs, 73 Boeing 737 MAX 9s, 61 Boeing 737-800s, 14 Boeing 737-700s, six Boeing 737-900s, and just five Boeing 737 MAX 8 aircraft, according to ch-aviation data. Alaska Airlines started taking deliveries of the 737 MAX 8s only recently. In January 2024, the airline added the type to its lineup.
Notably, the Seattle-based airline has 15 737 .
