Last year, it was announced that Alaska Air Group would be retiring their fleet of Dash
8-400s by the end of January 2023.
These 76-seater turboprops have been flown by Horizon Air for Alaska Airlines since the
early 2000s, connecting communities within the Pacific Northwest.
Sadly though, the type is being retired in favour of streamlining the Alaska and Horizon
Air fleets, despite some of them being less than 10 years old.
Although there is no shortage of Dash 8s up here in Canada, it'll be weird not seeing
any more of these Alaska ones in Alberta and B.C.
So, I thought I would put together this compilation of Horizon Air Dash 8-400s fromt the past
couple of years, including some footage from Calgary, Vancouver, Victoria,
and some from a trip to Portland last summer.
Farewell Horizon Air Dash 8s, and I hope you enjoy the video.
