Alaska Airlines is one of the major US carriers known for its exclusive service and experience. It claims to be the first airline in North America to offer online tickets and the first in the world to enable web check-in. The airline has set history again by investing in JetZero.
What is JetZero? It is an evolving name in the aviation industry that focuses on blended-wing aircraft. JetZero has worked closely with the U.S. Air Force, NASA, and the FAA to develop and refine this cutting-edge technology.
JetZero’s BWB aircraft are so designed that the wings and fuselage merge into one aerodynamic shape. This streamlined structure reduces air resistance, saving fuel and operating costs. In other words, it will slash fuel consumption and emissions by up to 50%. This will also enhance the experience of the passenger with noise-free cabins.
Alaska Airlines not only supports the idea of sustainable aircraft but has initiated its role in sustainable tourism. Investing in JetZero is the sustainability strategy for Alaska to improve its operational efficiency, renew its fleet, use sustainable aviation fuel, reduce waste, and explore electrified aircraft options. Alaska Airlines plans to have net zero carbon emissions by 2040.
