Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
GENERAL AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | GENERAL AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Organization and Basis of Presentation The unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Air Group, or the Company, and its primary subsidiaries, Alaska and Horizon. The unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements also include McGee Air Services (McGee), a ground services subsidiary of Alaska, and other immaterial business units. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP) for interim financial information. Consistent with these requirements, this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q does not include all the information required by GAAP for complete financial statements. It should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. In the opinion of management, all adjustments have been made that are necessary to fairly present the Company’s financial position as of June 30, 2024 and the results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023. Such adjustments were of a normal recurring nature. Certain rows, columns, figures, or percentages may not recalculate due to rounding. In preparing these statements, the Company is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent liabilities, as well as the reported amounts of revenue and expenses, including impairment charges. Due to seasonal variations in the demand for air travel, the volatility of aircraft fuel prices, changes in global economic conditions, changes in the competitive environment, and other factors, operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of operating results for the entire year. Flight 1282 and Boeing 737-9 MAX Grounding As a result of the Flight 1282 accident and the subsequent grounding of Boeing 737-9 MAX (B737-9) aircraft, Air Group's operation and results in the first and second quarters were significantly impacted. The Company received compensation from Boeing to address the financial damages incurred as a result of the grounding. In the first quarter, Boeing paid Air Group $162 million in cash. In the second quarter, Boeing issued Air Group $61 million in supplier credit memos to be applied against future Boeing goods and services purchases. Compensation received under the agreement is accounted for as a reduction in cost basis of certain B737-9 aircraft. The compensation is reflected within Aircraft and other flight equipment and Deposits for future flight equipment in the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. |

Business Combination, Asset Acquisition, and Joint Venture Formation [Abstract] | |
Business Combination Disclosure | On December 2, 2023, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Hawaiian Holdings, Inc. (Hawaiian). The Company has agreed to pay Hawaiian's shareholders $18.00 per share, or approximately $1.0 billion, in cash for the outstanding shares of Hawaiian. In addition, the Company expects to assume Hawaiian's debt and lease obligations on the date of acquisition. The acquisition has been approved by Hawaiian's shareholders and is subject to final approval by various regulatory bodies. On February 7, 2024, Air Group and Hawaiian each received a request for additional information and documentary material (the “Second Request”) from the Antitrust Division of the Department of Justice (the “DOJ”) in connection with the DOJ’s review of the acquisition. On March 27, 2024, Air Group and Hawaiian entered into a timing agreement with the DOJ pursuant to which they agreed, among other things, not to consummate the acquisition before 90 days following the date on which both parties have certified substantial compliance with the Second Request unless they have received written notice from the DOJ prior to the end of such 90-day period that the DOJ has closed its investigation of the acquisition. On May 7, 2024, Air Group and Hawaiian certified substantial compliance with the Second Request. The certification of substantial compliance triggered the start of the 90-day period described in the prior paragraph, which was previously scheduled to expire on August 5, 2024. On July 29, 2024, Air Group and Hawaiian agreed with the DOJ to extend the Review Period until 12:01 a.m. Eastern Time on August 15, 2024. In the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company incurred integration costs of $30 million and $38 million, respectively, primarily consisting of professional services fees. These costs are included within Special items - operating in the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company expects to continue to incur integration costs as activities supporting the proposed acquisition continue. |

OPERATING SEGMENT INFORMATION

Segment Reporting [Abstract] | |
OPERATING SEGMENT INFORMATION | OPERATING SEGMENT INFORMATION Alaska Air Group has two operating airlines – Alaska and Horizon. Each is regulated by the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Federal Aviation Administration. Alaska has CPAs for regional capacity with Horizon and SkyWest, under which Alaska receives all passenger revenue. Under GAAP, operating segments are defined as components of a business for which there is discrete financial information that is regularly assessed by the Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM) in making resource allocation decisions. Historically, our CODM has reviewed financial performance information for our airline operations and the Horizon CPA as part of three reportable operating segments: • Mainline - includes scheduled air transportation on Alaska's Boeing jet aircraft for passengers and cargo throughout the U.S., and in parts of Canada, Mexico, Costa Rica, Belize, Guatemala, and the Bahamas. • Regional - includes Horizon's and other third-party carriers’ scheduled air transportation for passengers across a shorter distance network within the U.S., Canada, and Mexico under a CPA. This segment includes the actual revenue and expenses associated with regional flying, as well as an allocation of corporate overhead incurred by Air Group on behalf of the regional operations. • Horizon - includes the capacity sold to Alaska under CPA. Expenses include those typically borne by regional airlines such as crew costs, ownership costs and maintenance costs. In addition to these reported segments, the Company has a "Consolidating and Other" column which reflects Air Group parent company activity, McGee Air Services, consolidating entries and other immaterial business units of the Company. The “Air Group Adjusted” column represents a non-GAAP measure that is used by the Company's CODM to evaluate performance and allocate resources. Adjustments are further explained below in reconciling to consolidated GAAP results. Over time, our Mainline and Regional airline segments have increasingly been managed as a single component that provides scheduled air transportation for passengers and cargo, and includes our loyalty program. Managing this component in an integrated manner enables our team to leverage our comprehensive network, single route scheduling system, and fleet as a single business to deliver optimized consolidated financial results. In 2024, management began evaluating changes to internal reporting that may change the discrete information that is provided to our CODM in the future to better align with the way the business is managed. Such changes may have an impact on the Company’s reportable segments once finalized. The Company will continue to report using the existing segment structure until changes in our internal reporting have been fully implemented, and a segment analysis has been performed to determine if any changes to reportable segments are indicated.

Organization and Basis of Presentation | Organization and Basis of Presentation The unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Air Group, or the Company, and its primary subsidiaries, Alaska and Horizon. The unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements also include McGee Air Services (McGee), a ground services subsidiary of Alaska, and other immaterial business units. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP) for interim financial information. Consistent with these requirements, this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q does not include all the information required by GAAP for complete financial statements. It should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. In the opinion of management, all adjustments have been made that are necessary to fairly present the Company’s financial position as of June 30, 2024 and the results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023. Such adjustments were of a normal recurring nature. Certain rows, columns, figures, or percentages may not recalculate due to rounding. In preparing these statements, the Company is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent liabilities, as well as the reported amounts of revenue and expenses, including impairment charges. Due to seasonal variations in the demand for air travel, the volatility of aircraft fuel prices, changes in global economic conditions, changes in the competitive environment, and other factors, operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of operating results for the entire year. Flight 1282 and Boeing 737-9 MAX Grounding As a result of the Flight 1282 accident and the subsequent grounding of Boeing 737-9 MAX (B737-9) aircraft, Air Group's operation and results in the first and second quarters were significantly impacted. The Company received compensation from Boeing to address the financial damages incurred as a result of the grounding. In the first quarter, Boeing paid Air Group $162 million in cash. In the second quarter, Boeing issued Air Group $61 million in supplier credit memos to be applied against future Boeing goods and services purchases. Compensation received under the agreement is accounted for as a reduction in cost basis of certain B737-9 aircraft. The compensation is reflected within Aircraft and other flight equipment and Deposits for future flight equipment in the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. | ||
