History

Horizon Air was formed in May 1981 by Milt Koult, and started operations on 1 September 1981. Its first route was from Seattle to Yakima, Washington. The general offices were operated out of an old house behind Sea-Tac airport. Horizon acquired Air Oregon in 1982 and Transwestern Airlines in 1983 to become one of the largest regional airlines in the USA. It went public in 1984 to raise money for expansion. In 1984 Horizon carried well over half a million passengers. It acquired its first jet, a Fokker F28, in 1985 and began operating feeder flights on behalf of both Northwest Airlines and Alaska Airlines. Alaska Air Group, parent of Alaska Airlines, bought Horizon in 1986 and continued to operate it as an independent carrier. The airline has since completely replaced the Fokker F28 with the Bombardier CRJ 700. The airline shares its activities, bookings, and connection services with Alaska Airlines, Northwest Airlines, Continental Airlines, and KLM, and until December 2007, operated regional jet services for Frontier Airlines. The airline operates from its main hub in Seattle and has secondary hubs in Denver, Boise, Portland, and Spokane. In the spring of 2007, Horizon launched service from Los Angeles and Seattle to Santa Rosa, CA to take advantage of the burgeoning wine and tourism industry. This was a significant coup for the Sonoma County region which had not had regularly scheduled air service in almost six years. The new routes proved so popular that in the fall of 2007, Horizon commenced non stop service from Portland, OR to Santa Rosa, and expanded the schedule for non stop flights between Los Angeles and Santa Rosa. is the 244th day of the year (245th in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar. ...

In the past, Horizon Air had an extensive contract flying arrangement with Frontier Airlines, serving smaller markets from Frontier's Denver hub under the name Frontier JetExpress. Both Horizon and Frontier decided to part ways after three years of service. The nine CRJ-700 that have been in use for Frontier JetExpress have been re-introduced into the Horizon route structure starting as of November 30, 2007. In early 2007, Horizon began to sub-lease 16 of its Dash 8 Q-200 aircraft to CommutAir.
