Celebrating the airline’s longstanding partnership (since 2001) with its favorite Major League Baseball team, Alaska Airlines unveiled the Seattle Mariners aircraft that took to the skies on September 27, just in time for the Mariners Fan Appreciation Day.

The design, displayed on a Boeing 737 MAX 9, features the Seattle Mariners logo, Mariner Moose, and the famous line “Fly, Fly Away” commemorating longtime Mariners broadcaster and Hall of Famer Dave Niehaus.
This is the second iteration of a Mariners-themed aircraft, and the new design will fly throughout Alaska Airlines’ network until 2026. The plane’s tail number, #N710AL, is also a nod to the Official Radio Station of the team, Seattle Sports 710, who broadcasts all Mariners games throughout the Pacific Northwest.
“As Seattle’s hometown airline, we’re excited to launch one of the most requested custom livery designs we’ve had over the past few years– a new Seattle Mariners Boeing 737. This aircraft represents an exciting opportunity to show our Seattle spirit and celebrate our baseball team not only during the season but year-round,” said Eric Edge, managing director of Marketing and Advertising, Alaska Airlines.
