Alaska Airlines Retires World’s First Boeing 737-900
Alaska Airlines has officially retired the world’s first Boeing 737-900, registered as N302AS, after nearly 22 years of service. The aircraft completed its final journey to Pinal Airpark in Arizona on April 8, 2025. N302AS, originally Boeing’s test aircraft, played a crucial role in the 737-900 program, which aimed to compete with the Airbus A321. Unlike most of its counterparts, it retained its original straight-wing design and “eyebrow” windows. Throughout its operational life, it logged 67,909 flight hours. With this retirement, only four 737-900s remain in Alaska’s fleet, all scheduled for withdrawal by 2025.
