Alaska Airlines Inaugural Flight: Paine Field to Honolulu

Alaska Airlines launched its first-ever nonstop flight from Paine Field (PAE) in Everett, Washington, to Honolulu, Hawaii—marking a historic milestone for the airport and the Pacific Northwest. I had the privilege of capturing this momentous occasion as one of the official photographers, documenting everything from pre-flight preparations to the vibrant send-off featuring Hawaiian music.
This gallery features highlights from the day, including the Boeing 737-9 MAX on the tarmac, passengers boarding with excitement, and the energy of a new chapter in West Coast travel.
