Alaska Air Group, the parent company of Alaska Airlines, plans to invest $2.3bn to improve infrastructure across four airports in the US.
The company plans to invest in airports in Seattle, Portland, San Francisco and Los Angeles.
At Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA), the group plans to kick off the first phase of a major terminal project this summer.

The move is expected to benefit the company as the new gates will result in shorter taxi times and faster access to the runways…
