Multiple U.S. carriers slashed their full-year guidance this week as fuel costs continue to climb.

The carrier is projecting a larger EPS loss for 2026.

The FAA is investigating after the crew reported a “brake issue.”

Service will start in January 2027.

The carrier plans to connect more than 1,000 narrowbody and widebody aircraft.

Construction will begin later this year.

The hiring process will be more transparent than in years past, the carrier said.

Flights will operate three times daily, using regional aircraft.

The new perk will give customers more flexibility, the carrier said.

Alaska said the move will put it “on equal footing with its competitors” and strengthen its international profile.
