A tan oval label reading Shipped by Air Freight across outspread wings, with the Alaska Airlines globe badge at the centre. This one was made for crates and parcels rather than suitcases, and freight is where the airline's story begins: it started in 1932 as a bush operation out of Anchorage carrying cargo as well as people. Cargo stayed central over the decades, from Alaska's flights during the Berlin Airlift to the cargo business that helped bring the company back to profit in the 1990s.
The bag is made from 10-ounce canvas of 80% recycled cotton and 20% cotton. The recycled fibers are collected from garment-cutting waste and then intertwined with cotton for added strength and durability. Self-fabric handles. Dimensions: 15.75" h x 15.25" w; approx. 240 cubic inches.
Note: Bags not intended for use by children 12 and under.
