        We operate in a continually changing business environment, and new risk factors
        emerge from time to time. Management cannot predict such new risk factors,
        nor
        can it assess the impact, if any, of such new risk factors on our business
        or
        events described in any forward-looking statements. We disclaim any obligation

        to 17 CFR Part 243 (&#8220;Regulation FD&#8221;), the Company is submitting information
        relating to its financial and operational outlook for 2005. This report includes
        information regarding forecasts of available seat miles (ASMs), cost per
        available seat mile (CASM) excluding fuel consumption and restructuring charges,
        as well as certain actual results for revenue passenger miles (RPMs), load
        factor and revenue per available seat mile (RASM), for its subsidiaries Alaska
        Airlines, Inc. and Horizon Air. Our disclosure of operating cost per available
        seat mile, excluding fuel and restructuring charges provides us the ability
        to
        measure and monitor our performance without these items. The most directly
        comparable GAAP measure is total operating expense per available seat mile.
        However, due to the large fluctuations in fuel prices, we are unable to predict
        total operating expense for any future period with any degree of certainty.
        In
        addition, we believe the disclosure of financial performance without
        mark-to-market hedging gains is useful to investors in evaluating our ongoing
        operational performance. Please see the cautionary statement under
&#8220;Forward-Looking Information.&#8221;</font></div>

FORWARD-LOOKING
        INFORMATION
This
        report may contain forward-looking statements that are intended to be subject
        to
        the safe harbor protection provided by Section 27A of the Securities Act
        of 1933
        and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. These statements
        relate
        to future events or our future financial performance and involve known and
        unknown risks and uncertainties that may cause our actual results or performance
        to be materially different from those indicated by any forward-looking
        statements. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by
        terminology such as
"forecast,""may,""will,""could,""should,""expect,""plan,""believe,""potential"
        or other similar words indicating future events or contingencies. Some of
        the
        things that could cause our actual results to differ from our expectations
        are:
        changes in our operating costs including fuel, which can be volatile; the
        competitive environment and other trends in our industry; our ability to
        meet
        our cost reduction goals; labor disputes; economic conditions; our reliance
        on
        automated systems; increases in government fees and taxes; actual or threatened
        terrorist attacks; global instability and potential U.S. military actions
        or
        activities; insurance costs; changes in laws and regulations; liability and
        other claims asserted against us; operational disruptions; compliance with
        financial covenants; our ability to attract and retain qualified personnel;
        third-party vendors and partners; continuing operating losses; our significant
        indebtedness; downgrades of our credit ratings and the availability of
        financing. For a discussion of these and other risk factors, see Item 7 of
        the
        Company's Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2004 on Form 10-K. All
        of the forward-looking statements are qualified in their entirety by reference
        to the risk factors discussed therein. These risk factors may not be exhaustive.
        We operate in a continually changing business environment, and new risk factors
        emerge from time to time. Management cannot predict such new risk factors,
        nor
        can it assess the impact, if any, of such new risk factors on our business
        or
        events described in any forward-looking statements. We disclaim any obligation
        to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements after the date
        of
        this report to conform them to actual results.
ITEM
        7.01.
Regulation
        FD Disclosure
Pursuant
        to 17 CFR Part 243 ("Regulation FD"), the Company is submitting information
        relating to its financial and operational outlook for 2005. This report includes
        information regarding forecasts of available seat miles (ASMs), cost per
        available seat mile (CASM) excluding fuel consumption and restructuring charges,
        as well as certain actual results for revenue passenger miles (RPMs), load
        factor and revenue per available seat mile (RASM), for its subsidiaries Alaska
        Airlines, Inc. and Horizon Air. Our disclosure of operating cost per available
        seat mile, excluding fuel and restructuring charges provides us the ability
        to
        measure and monitor our performance without these items. The most directly
        comparable GAAP measure is total operating expense per available seat mile.
        However, due to the large fluctuations in fuel prices, we are unable to predict
        total operating expense for any future period with any degree of certainty.
        In
        addition, we believe the disclosure of financial performance without
        mark-to-market hedging gains is useful to investors in evaluating our ongoing
        operational performance. Please see the cautionary statement under
"Forward-Looking Information."
In
        accordance with General Instruction B.2 of Form 8-K, the following information
        shall not be deemed filed for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange
        Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), nor shall such information be
        deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of
        1933,
        as amended, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference
        in such
        a filing. This Report will not be deemed an admission as to the materiality
        of
        any information required to be disclosed solely to satisfy the requirements
        of
        Regulation FD.

Third
        Quarter 2005
During
        the second quarter of 2005, Alaska announced a reduction in its 2005 summer
        flight schedule in order to improve operational reliability, reduce
        cancellations, and increase on-time performance by eliminating eight round
        trip
        flights per day. The reductions represented approximately 3.5% of original
        planned capacity in the third quarter. This schedule reduction is included
        in
        the forecasts below for ASMs and corresponding costs per ASM.

Alaska
        Airlines' July traffic decreased 2.1% to 1.633 billion RPMs from 1.668 billion
        flown a year earlier. Capacity during July was 1.986 billion ASMs, 5.5% lower
        than the 2.102 billion in July 2004. The passenger load factor (the percentage
        of available seats occupied by fare-paying passengers) for the month was
        82.2%,
        compared to 79.4% in July 2004. The airline carried 1,633,500 passengers
        compared to 1,652,500 in July 2004.
In
        July
        2005, RASM increased 11.3% compared to July 2004 due to higher load factors
        (caused in part by a decrease in capacity) and an increase in yields per
        RPM.
*For
        Alaska, our forecasts of cost per ASM and fuel cost per ASM are based on
        forward-looking estimates which will likely differ from actual results due
        to
        the volatility of fuel prices. There are several factors impacting our estimates
        including, but not limited to, the volatility of fuel prices and the
        finalization of labor agreements. As we are unable to apply "hedge accounting",
        the majority of the benefit we realize from settled fuel hedge contracts
        is
        classified in other non-operating income on our statement of operations and
        is
        thus not reflected in fuel cost per ASM above. See page 6 for additional
        information regarding fuel costs.

        Air's July traffic increased 11.3% to 237.7 million RPMs from 213.5 million
        flown a year earlier. Capacity for July was 309.8 million ASMs, 8.7% higher
        than
        the 284.9 million in July 2004. The passenger load factor for the month was
        76.7%, compared to 74.9% in July 2004. The airline carried 610,200 passengers
        compared to 565,800 in July 2004.
In
        July
        2005, RASM increased 1.6% compared to July 2004, due to increased load factors.
*
For
        Horizon, our forecasts of cost per ASM and fuel cost per ASM are based on
        forward-looking estimates, which will likely differ significantly from actual
        results. There are several factors impacting our estimates including, but
        not
        limited to, the volatility of fuel prices. As we are unable to apply hedge
        accounting, the majority of the benefit we realize from settled fuel hedge
        contracts is classified in other non-operating income on our statement of
        operations and is thus not reflected in fuel cost per ASM above. See page
        6 for
        additional information regarding fuel costs.

Cash
        and
        short-term investments totaled approximately $699 million at July 31, 2005
        compared to $726 million at June 30, 2005. The decrease is primarily due
        to the
        delivery payment for a B737-800 aircraft that was delivered on July 1,
        2005.

Fuel
        Hedging
We
        are
        providing unaudited information about fuel price movements and the impact
        of our
        hedging program on our financial results. Management believes it is useful
        to
        compare results between periods that exclude the mark-to-market hedging
        gains/losses associated with contracts that settle recorded on a GAAP basis
        and
        include the cash received or due on hedge positions settled during the period
        (although the related impact may have been recognized for financial reporting
        purposes in a prior period). We refer to this as the comparison of "economic
        fuel cost", which is presented below for July 2005.
