Alaska Airlines had the most efficient US domestic operations in both 2011 and 2012, the same position it occupied in a 2010 benchmark assessment published by the ICCT last year. Alaska is very efficient in large part because it operates a new Boeing fleet and uses turboprops on regional flights. Earlier post.) Click to enlarge.
