Alaska Air Group CEO Ben Minicucci was named “2025 Executive of the Year” today by the Puget Sound Business Journal in Seattle. “Minicucci’s bold moves set the airline on an ambitious course,” the story says, highlighting the combination with Hawaiian Airlines and plans for at least 12 new intercontinental flights out of Seattle in the next few years.
With a steady hand on the yoke, Ben is steering Alaska Air Group through a global transformation guided by a single, shared vision: connecting guests to the world with a remarkable travel experience rooted in safety, care and performance.
