Alaska Airlines to bring back 'Salmon-Thirty-Salmon'

SEATTLE — Alaska Airlines is resurrecting its “Salmon-Thirty-Salmon” livery on a plane that will be unveiled sometime this fall, the company said Monday.

Officially titled the “Salmon-Thirty-Salmon II,” the Boeing 737-800 follows in the footsteps of the original Salmon, a 737-400, which made its debut in 2005. The latest incarnation features new details, such as fish scales on the winglets and a pink-colored Alaska logo on the fuselage.

"This airplane celebrates Alaska Airlines' unique relationship with the people and communities of Alaska and underscores our air transport commitment to the state's seafood industry," said Marilyn Romano, Alaska Airlines' regional vice president of the state of Alaska. "Because the new design will be featured on a larger 737-800, this 91,000-pound king will boldly promote the world's finest seafood from the Hawaiian Islands to Boston and beyond."

More information is available on the company's website.
