History of Horizon Air

Horizon Air was founded in 1981 and began operating a few months later with three aircraft. The airline formed as the result of Horizon Airlines and Air Oregon merging together. The first route in their network was Yakima-Seattle. In the mid 1980s the airline began purchasing de Haviland aircraft from Canada and also established a code-share agreement with United Airlines. Horizon Air became an international airline when it began operating flights to Vancouver and Victoria.

In the 1990s the airline concentrated on renewing its fleet, phasing in some aircraft and phasing out others. In 2007 the airline launched flights to Los Angeles and Santa Rosa, creating links between the west coast’s two growing wine regions.
