Alaska Airlines will paint over the custom Boeing 737 that looks like an 129-foot-long Alaska king salmon, the company confirmed Monday.
That will be Flight 65, the daily Southeast Alaska “milk run” that travels from Seattle to Anchorage with stops in Ketchikan, Petersburg, Wrangell and Juneau along the way. “Alaska Airlines has a new direction for the Salmon Thirty Salmon,” said Jeremy Woodrow, director of the Alaska Seafood Marketing Institute, by email. “ASMI helped fund the original livery but the re-paints since then have all been covered by Alaska Air. The plane still carries the Alaska Seafood logo and messaging.”
