X̱áat Ḵwáani Salmon People
 | B737-890 | Alaska Airlines |
Alaska Airlines unveiled this new special scheme on May 11, 2023 as a replacement scheme for the Salmon Thirty Salmon scheme. The design is the work of Alaska Native artist Crystal Kaakeeyáa Rose Demientieff Worl. X̱áat Ḵwáani means Salmon People in Alaskan Tlingit language and "refers to the spiritual link between the people who interact with the beloved salmon and all of us who benefit from their stewardship of the environment" (Alaska Airlines). Worl used Northwest Coast formline art, a feature in the indigenous art of the Northwest Coast.
