Emergence of HorizonAirlines
Milt Kuolt an entrepreneur and other major capitalists, found a niche in the airlines industry and in 1981 founded Horizon Airlines. After the Airline Deregulation Act of 1978 many large airplanes could not make some flights anymore in the North West, this is where Kuolt found his niche, to start having smaller airplanes allowed by such act to take passengers all over the North West and to other places in the World. Horizon Airlines began with only thirty six staff members and two leased Fairchild F-27 planes and only had flights to Yakima, Pasco and Seattle.

By 1986 Horizon Airlines

airline companies. After a few business talks Horizon Airlines was sold
to Alaska Airlines and they became partners, this made both airlines form
into a well respected airline in many states. Horizon has more than four
hundred staff member now and can get to over fifty different destinations
around the United States and other countries.
