Expansion Opportunities Horizon Air is planning to increase headcount by 500 pilots each year through 2025, creating potential opportunities for partnerships with pilot training academies or aviation schools to meet this demand.

Partnership Potential The recent partnership between Alaska Airlines, Horizon Air, and Hillsboro Aero Academy to launch the Ascend Pilot Academy presents an opportunity for collaboration on training programs or aviation services.

Upselling Services With a regional carrier servicing around 50 cities up and down the West Coast, there is room for upselling additional routes or services to existing customers, leveraging Horizon Air's extensive network.

Key Personnel Influence The appointment of a new senior vice president of operations, Jason Berry, offers a chance for business development professionals to establish new relationships and explore potential partnerships tailored to his expertise.

Competitive Collaboration Collaborating with Horizon Air's regional sister carrier, Alaska Airlines, on joint routes or exclusive packages could provide sales development representatives with unique offerings to attract new clients within the West Coast region.
