Wednesday, August 14, 2024 Alaska Airlines proudly joins forces with Portland International Airport for today’s grand unveiling of its stunningly redesigned terminal. This state-of-the-art facility, years in the making, marks a significant milestone. Alongside this grand opening, Portland becomes the inaugural site for our cutting-edge technology and advanced procedures, aimed at revolutionizing the airport experience.
Our new system ensures a smoother journey, allowing guests to pass through the lobby and security in under five minutes. “As our second largest hub, Portland is an essential part of Alaska’s future. Our deep collaboration and joint investment with the Port of Portland on this new world-class terminal highlights our focus on improving how our guests travel,” said Shane Jones , senior vice president of fleet, revenue products and real estate at Alaska Airlines.
“With nearly 90% of our passengers now checking in before they arrive at the airport, we’ve launched our lobby of the future experience in Portland which simplifies dropping off bags and gets guests quickly through the lobby so they can enjoy everything the new terminal has to offer,” said Charu Jain , senior vice president of innovation and merchandising at Alaska Airlines. We are showcasing the latest technological innovations designed to grant our guests greater control over their travel experience. This begins with our streamlined bag drop process.
