Alaska Air Group, Inc.
EXPLANATORY NOTE

The purpose of this Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-Q/A (“Amendment No. 1”) to the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q of Alaska Air Group, Inc. (the “Company,” “we,” “our” or “us”) for the quarter ended March 31, 2020, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on May 14, 2020 (the “Quarterly Report”), is to add this Explanatory Note regarding our reliance on SEC Release No. 34-88465 (the “SEC Order") issued by the SEC on March 25, 2020, under Section 36 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (Exchange Act) in connection with the filing of the Quarterly Report. The SEC Order provides conditional relief to public companies that are unable to timely comply with their filing obligations as a result of the novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) outbreak by extending, subject to the conditions of the SEC Order, the filing deadline by up to 45 days for certain Exchange Act reports due on or before July 1, 2020.

As previously reported on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on May 5, 2020, we are relying on the SEC Order to delay the filing of the Quarterly Report due to circumstances related to the COVID-19 outbreak. In particular, the Company needed additional time to file the Quarterly Report because of the substantial number of additional accounting and other controls and procedures that must be completed by Company personnel in order to finalize the Company’s financial statements and the Quarterly Report to explain the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company and its subsidiaries.

No other changes have been made to the Quarterly Report, except that Part II, Item 6 of the Quarterly Report is also being amended to refer to the updated Exhibit Index that is included herein for the purpose of including abbreviated officer certifications that are being filed herewith. This Form 10-Q/A speaks as of the original filing date of the Quarterly Report and has not been updated to reflect events occurring subsequent to the original filing date.
