All Horizon flights to Denver will be operated with the airline's new 70-seat CRJ-700 regional jets. Horizon is the first airline in North America to operate the CRJ-700, one of the world's quietest commercially operated jet aircraft. The CRJ-700 has far less noise and fuel emissions than the limits enforced by even the most environmentally sensitive airports. The CRJ-700's cabin features two seats on either side of the aisle (no middle seats) and roomy overhead storage bins.
Horizon Air serves 40 cities throughout Oregon, California, Washington, Idaho, Montana, Alberta and British Columbia. Horizon Air and Alaska Airlines are subsidiaries of Alaska Air Group, Inc.
