One of Alaska Airlines’ most distinctive planes, a Boeing 737-900ER named
Our Commitment, took to the skies in late April. The aircraft, N492AS, disappeared off the radar in early April. But by the end of the month, the plane was reborn with a sparkling new paint job that celebrates the airline’s long-running partnership with the United Negro College Fund (UNCF).

Our Commitment celebrates the power of education
The plane features the faces of 14 kids who belong to Alaska Airlines employees. One of these is Arthur, the 8th-grade son of an Alaska Airlines training delivery specialist. Arthur attends Raisbeck Aviation High School in Washington and is keen on aeronautics and space exploration. He sounds smart and switched on, and Alaska Airlines wants to harness that.
