Ben Minicucci
Since taking over as president and CEO of Alaska Airlines in 2021, Ben Minicucci has wasted no time making his mark on the airline. In 2024, Alaska Airlines acquired Hawaiian Airlines, and last fall, the company unveiled Atmos Rewards, a combined loyally program that has been named the top loyalty program in the country.
Minicucci has also been making major investments right here in San Diego. This spring, Alaska Airlines will add five new nonstop flights to Dallas-Fort Worth, Oakland, Raleigh-Durham, Santa Barbara and Tulsa—increasing the airline’s total number of flights by more than 35%. Alaska Airlines is also preparing to build a brand new, 13,000 square foot lounge at the San Diego Airport featuring private work stations, a full bar offering signature cocktails as well as a barista station, plus ample space to get comfortable and relax while waiting for your flight.
“We’re committed to being the leading airline in San Diego,” Minicucci says. “It’s one of the fastest-growing hubs in our global network and is home to many of our most loyal customers.”
