Following final permitting approvals, this hangar will be constructed adjacent to the airline&#8217;s existing Horizon Air Ops Center &amp; Maintenance Hangar at Portland International Airport (PDX), adding approximately 125,000 square feet of space for indoor aircraft maintenance of Alaska Airlines and Hawaiian Airlines&#8217; mainline fleets and 60,000 square feet of space for offices, engine, machine and sheet metal shops and support areas.<\/p>\n<div class=\"PRN_ImbeddedAssetReference\" id=\"DivAssetPlaceHolder1\">\n<p>\n          <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/mmx.prnewswire.com\/media\/MS1866514\/PDX_HANGAR_Hero.jpg?id=OA2718791\" title=\"Rendering of future Alaska Airlines hangar\" alt=\"Rendering of future Alaska Airlines hangar\" \/>\n        <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>The new facility will allow maintenance technicians to work on up to three narrowbody aircraft or two widebody aircraft at one time, enabling the airline to recover out-of-service aircraft more quickly and relieve pressure on its primary maintenance facilities in Seattle and other hubs.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;A new maintenance hangar in Portland is both an investment in one of our critical hubs and a key that unlocks growth possibilities throughout our network,&#8221; said Benjamin Brookman, Vice President of Real Estate and Airport Affairs at Alaska Airlines. &#8220;With more flexibility on where we can perform maintenance and the aircraft we can service, we can run our operation more efficiently.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The new hangar represents the carrier&#8217;s ongoing commitment to Portland and the nearly 3,000 Alaska Airlines, Hawaiian Airlines and Horizon Air employees based in the area. The facility is slated to create more than 100 highly skilled jobs for local maintenance technicians, engineers and service professionals.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;PDX is a job-generating, economic powerhouse, fueling the Port&#8217;s work to create good-paying opportunities that support families, growth and connection,&#8221; said Port of Portland Chief Aviation Officer Dan Pippenger. &#8220;The new hangar embodies our strong partnership with Alaska, and our mutual commitment to making our region a place where everyone can thrive. It&#8217;s a smart investment in our local talent that&#8217;s sure to boost our region&#8217;s economy and strengthen our future.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Alaska Airlines has proudly served Portland since 1979 and is the city&#8217;s largest carrier with more than 130 daily departures this summer. The hangar construction project builds on Alaska&#8217;s recent series of investments at PDX. The airline expanded its airport lobby presence at PDX in 2024 and opened a new, 14,000-foot Alaska Lounge earlier this month. This summer, Alaska will provide new flight options for its guests in Portland, launching year-round service to Everett\/Paine Field (PAE) and Pasco\u2013Tri-Cities (PSC), along with seasonal service to Baltimore (BWI), Philadelphia (PHL), St. Louis (STL) and Jackson Hole (JAC). By this fall, Alaska will offer 50% more seats in Portland than just two years ago, reflecting strong demand for travel from the Pacific Northwest city.<\/p>\n<p>\n        <b>FAQ<\/b>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\n        <b>Where is the facility<\/b>\u00a0<b>located?<\/b>\u00a0<\/p>\n<ul type=\"disc\">\n<li>7646 NE\u00a0Airtrans\u00a0Way, Portland, OR.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\n        <b>When will the facility be fully built?<\/b>\u00a0<\/p>\n<ul type=\"disc\">\n<li>The anticipated\u00a0completion of the facility is the second quarter of\u00a02028.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\n        <b>How many jobs will the facility create?<\/b>\u00a0<\/p>\n<ul type=\"disc\">\n<li>The facility is slated to create more than 100\u00a0highly skilled\u00a0jobs\u00a0for local maintenance\u00a0technicians, engineers and service professionals.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\n        <b>Will<\/b>\u00a0<b>the facility<\/b>\u00a0<b>be<\/b>\u00a0<b>LEED certified?<\/b>\u00a0<\/p>\n<ul type=\"disc\">\n<li>Yes, the facility will be LEED certified.
