Alaska Airlines The Team

Interns at Alaska Airlines, Hawaiian Airlines & Horizon Air join teams throughout different departments and work on visible projects that impact our guests and business. Beyond hands-on experience, interns also get the opportunity to network with fellow employees and company leaders through various intern events and programming. Our interns also receive unlimited standby travel benefits during their internship, which means that many weekends are filled with jet setting across our growing network.

This co-op program has 2 rotations, the first one in Summer 2027 and the second rotation Summer 2028.

This internship will be located in either SeaTac, WA or Honolulu, HI. If not already in the internship city, candidates will be required to relocate for the duration of the internship.

This internship is designed solely to provide you with skill development and valuable work experience.
