Horizon Air Industries, Inc. operating as Horizon Air is a regional airline based in SeaTac, Washington, United States. It is the eighth largest regional airline in the USA, serving 42 cities in the United States and Canada. Horizon Air has been featured in several films, including the 1983 motion picture WarGames and 1995 motion picture Georgia.
Horizon Air was formed in May 1981 by Milt Kuolt, and started operations on September 1, 1981 with three Fairchild F-27 aircraft. Its headquarters were in an area that is now within SeaTac, Washington.
Horizon Air's first route was from Yakima to Seattle and one week later, Pasco to Seattle. The general offices of Horizon Air were operated out of an old house behind Sea-Tac airport. Horizon acquired Air Oregon on June 17, 1982, after both airlines were losing hundreds of thousands of dollars monthly, in order to consolidate and reduce their operating deficit. Horizon agreed to purchase Transwestern Airlines of Utah in September 1983, once again to try to reduce operating deficit of the airline. A single Fokker F28 Fellowship twin jet, purchased in July 1984 from an African carrier, was the first jet owned by Horizon Air; however, their first jet was a wet leasedDouglas DC-9-10. Additional Fokker F28s were leased from USAir during the mid-1990s. An initial public offering occurred in 1984 to secure operating capital, which after only one profitable year since founding, was needed to keep the airline afloat.

Horizon Air says farewell to Q400 Turboprop
The Q400 turboprop took its last flight for Horizon Air this week and it was an emotional moment for the pilots and crew. It's a business move to streamline the airline's fleet and a first in the airline's history.
It's a daily flight connecting an immeasurable number of Horizon Air passengers within Washington.
"I've been flying with Horizon for over 37 years," said Captain Allen Dutton, who has flown Bombardier Q400 turboprop for decades. But there was nothing normal about this flight.
It was the last revenue flight for the Q-400, exactly 22-years to the day at Horizon Air.
"We also have the newer, more modern E175 regional jet in our fleet for the last five years, so that's the plane of the future," said Joe Sprague, president of Horizon Air.

Perfect Regional Flight: Alaska Airlines Lounge + Horizon Air Q400
Horizon Air is Alaska Airlines’ Regional Partner.
In this video, I’ll explore Alaska Airlines newest lounge. A 15,800 square foot palace to traveling pleasure located in the North Satellite. It’s got everything a frequent traveler may desire. See it for yourself, but trust me when I say…it may be North America’s best airline lounge!
From there, you’ll see my experience onboard a Horizon Air Dash 8, which is also known as a Bombardier Q400. Horizon Air’s Q400 is a spectacular regional airplane that’s perfect for the missions this Seattle-based carrier requires.
You’ll see the Horizon Air Q400 seats, the Horizon Air service, and the Horizon Air Food. But, best of all, you’ll see some of the best views the United States has to offer. Join me for this remarkable trip!

STEEP APPROACH! Alaska Airlines (Horizon Air) Dash 8 Q400 trip report, San Jose to Salt Lake City
Welcome to another trip report.
Watch the superb steep approach capabilities of the Q400 as we take an unusual route into SLC from SJC. We fly over desert most of the way, with airports and places enroute being pointed out as we fly.
This was an incredibly cheap flight at around $60 - great value for a 1h55 trip. While the Dash 8 Q400 is one of my least favourite aircraft, Alaska provide a good service (through their partner Horizon). There was even a free beer! Excellent.

The Q400 turboprop took its last flight for Horizon Air this week and it was an emotional moment for the pilots and crew. It's a business move to streamline the airline's fleet and a first in the airline's history.
It's a daily flight connecting an immeasurable number of Horizon Air passengers within Washington.
"I've been flying with Horizon for over 37 years," said Captain Allen Dutton, who has flown Bombardier Q400 turboprop for decades. But there was nothing normal about this flight.
It was the last revenue flight for the Q-400, exactly 22-years to the day at Horizon Air.
"We also have the newer, more modern E175 regional jet in our fleet for the last five years, so that's the plane of the future," said Joe Sprague, president of Horizon Air.
The company is turning to a single fleet of Embraer 175 jets. Sprague said its quieter, flies faster and is more cost effective.
"With two different airplane types we have to have two different training programs, two different parts, two different of everything. But with a single airplane, much more efficient," said Sprague.
Horizon Air will retire 32 Q400's. Horizon Air currently has 33 E175 jets and expects to be operating 50 by 2026.
"I'd like to be flying the airplane for a little bit longer, but it is what it is," said Dutton.
For the first time since its existence, Horizon Air won't have a turboprop in their fleet.
Dutton took on the responsibility of the last flight, "Just because I'm the senior, I wanted to fly the last flight since I love the airplane."
It's not just the airplane he's saying goodbye to.

Horizon Air Industries, Inc. operating as Horizon Air is a regional airline based in SeaTac, Washington, United States. It is the eighth largest regional airline in the USA, serving 42 cities in the United States and Canada. Horizon Air has been featured in several films, including the 1983 motion picture WarGames and 1995 motion picture Georgia.
Horizon Air was formed in May 1981 by Milt Kuolt, and started operations on September 1, 1981 with three Fairchild F-27 aircraft. Its headquarters were in an area that is now within SeaTac, Washington.
Horizon Air's first route was from Yakima to Seattle and one week later, Pasco to Seattle. The general offices of Horizon Air were operated out of an old house behind Sea-Tac airport. Horizon acquired Air Oregon on June 17, 1982, after both airlines were losing hundreds of thousands of dollars monthly, in order to consolidate and reduce their operating deficit. Horizon agreed to purchase Transwestern Airlines of Utah in September 1983, once again to try to reduce operating deficit of the airline. A single Fokker F28 Fellowship twin jet, purchased in July 1984 from an African carrier, was the first jet owned by Horizon Air; however, their first jet was a wet leasedDouglas DC-9-10. Additional Fokker F28s were leased from USAir during the mid-1990s. An initial public offering occurred in 1984 to secure operating capital, which after only one profitable year since founding, was needed to keep the airline afloat.
