Alaska Airlines To Build New $135 Million Maintenance Hangar In Portland

Alaska Airlines has been given the green light by the Port of Portland for a ground lease at Portland International Airport (PDX) for a new maintenance hangar. This will see a $135 million investment, which will create more than 100 jobs for local maintenance workers and engineers. Portland is an important hub for Alaska Airlines, where the airline dominates around 40% of all arriving and departing flights (including its Horizon Air subsidiary).
