Alaska Airlines has debuted its first-ever branded widebody plane, a Boeing Dreamliner that has already been rotated into the carrier’s long-haul schedule.
The 787-9 entered service — including flights from Seattle to Tokyo — as Alaska announced its biggest-ever aircraft deal, ordering 110 planes from Boeing two years after a mid-cabin door plug missing key bolts blew out from one of the company’s 737 Max-9 planes at 14,800 feet.
