SEATTLE--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 18, 2001--Alaska Airlines and Horizon Air have implemented electronic ticketing capability with Sabre in Canada, allowing more Canadian travel agencies to issue e-tickets on Alaska.

With the introduction of electronic ticketing to agencies that use Sabre, nearly all travel agencies in Canada can now issue electronic tickets on Alaska. Sabre is the largest CRS provider in Canada. Galileo and Worldspan have already been able to issue e-tickets on Alaska.

"This added ability provides travel agents and their customers the convenience that comes with electronic ticketing," said Gregg Saretsky, Alaska's senior vice president of marketing and planning. "Most customers have discovered the benefits of electronic tickets, including the use of our Instant Travel Machines for self check in and our suite of self service products."

Customers will also receive 500 bonus Mileage Plan miles when using an ITM for self check in at Vancouver airport through Sept. 30.

Alaska Airlines is a leader in electronic ticket technology. System wide, two-thirds of all Alaska Airlines customers already choose electronic tickets.

Alaska and its sister carrier, Horizon Air, together serve 75 cities in the Lower 48, Alaska, Canada and Mexico, with more than 1,100 daily departures.
