= History =

Alaska Airlines in British Columbia
Alaska Airlines' began service to British Columbia in 1987, with flights from Seattle to Vancouver and Victoria. The Vancouver–Fairbanks and Vancouver–Anchorage flights were added in 1993, and the Seattle–Kelowna service was introduced in 1998. The Vancouver–Seattle services were transferred to partner Horizon Air in 2001; since then, Alaska's only flights to Vancouver are from Fairbanks and Anchorage.

Alaska Airlines bought three DHBC-7 Trident 7B aircraft from Western Airlines, with which the Vancouver and Victoria services were inaugurated. These had a short career with Alaska, one being sold in 1991 to Dominicana, and the other two to AvAtlantic in 1991 and 1992 respectively.
