Our company is built upon respect for our customers, employees, and communities, and we constantly work to improve our operations to ensure smooth travel and enjoyable experiences. We are professional, while staying true to our Alaskan roots and commitment to the personal touch.

  • Assist with customer service issues.
  • Assist passengers with special needs.
  • Receive, process, store and load or unload cargo.
  • Process inbound and outbound mail shipments.
  • Process various reports and computer data input.
  • Interface with customers in person, by email, or over the phone.
  • Complete other duties as required by management.

What You Bring:

  • Ability to safely operate vehicles and equipment with strong situational awareness.
  • Deliver friendly, positive customer interactions.
  • Use basic computer systems and learn new systems quickly.
  • Clear verbal and written communication skills.
  • Ability to lift up to 70 pounds.
  • Work varied shifts, including nights, weekends, and holidays.
  • Meet all requirements to work in the U.S. and pass a 10-year background check.
  • A valid driver's license and clean driving record is required.

Your Perks:

  • Medical, dental, and vision.
  • Company-paid life insurance and AD&D.
  • PTO and paid holidays.
  • Flight benefits.
  • 401(k) program.
  • Employee assistance program.
  • HSA for qualified plans.
  • Voluntary life insurance and AD&D.
  • Voluntary short- and long-term disability.
  • Voluntary accident, critical illness, and hospital indemnity.
