Alaska Air (ALK) & CHOOSE Ink Environment-Friendly Deal

Zacks Equity Research
·2-min read

Alaska Air Group, Inc. ALK announced that it is collaborating with climate-tech company CHOOSE to provide passengers options to reduce their travel-related carbon emissions. Guests can purchase sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) credits or support nature-based climate projects.

Guests can choose between SAF credits or from certified nature-based projects in geographies where the airline flies, such as Doyon Native Community Forest Project, Freres Biochar, The Guatemalan Conservation Coast and more. ALK rewards guests who purchase a certain amount of SAF credits with Elite Qualifying Miles (EQMs). This is part of the airline's year-end elite status promotions.

Alaska Air Mileage Plan members can earn 500 EQMs for every $100 spent on SAF credits. The offer is valid through December 31, 2023. There is a maximum of 5,000 EQMs that can be earned.

This move is in-line with the airline's efforts to go green by reducing its greenhouse gas emissions, without relying on traditional carbon offsets.
