Alaska Airlines vows to help fill void after RavnAir Group bankruptcy
Alaska Airlines has responded to RavnAir Group’s closure and impending bankruptcy.
Alaska Air says it will assist all affected employees to find new jobs, even though the Seattle based carrier has imposed a hiring freeze.
Its human resources division will host a job fair for Ravn employees and assist in finding them employment within the industry.
Alaska says it will maintain current service to all destinations it serves in the state.
It is also bringing forward its scheduled summer service to King Salmon and Dillingham.
RavnAir Group announced an end of all services, the grounding of its fleet of 72 aircraft and is laying off all staff.
It plans to file for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy.
"Having served Alaska for 88 years, Alaska Airlines has a special appreciation for the unique reliance most Alaskan communities have on air service. During this difficult moment, our hope is that air carriers across Alaska will make every effort to ensure continuity of service to all the state’s remote communities," said Alaska Airlines CEO, Brad Tilden.
It will monitor other markets which have been impacted by the Ravn closure and add services to support local communities if feasible.
"We believe these are important steps that Alaska Airlines can take to support the infrastructure of the state of Alaska and ensure the people and communities of the state remain connected," Tilden added.
