Northern Pacific Airways, rebranded as New Pacific Airlines, aimed to connect the U.S. and East Asia via Anchorage, Alaska, but faced significant operational and financial challenges, ultimately leading to its closure in late 2025. Despite initial plans for affordable transpacific routes and a unique stopover strategy, the airline struggled with regulatory approvals, rising costs, and a lack of sustained international flights. Following trademark litigation with BNSF Railway, the rebranding did not resolve deeper structural issues, and the airline ceased operations shortly after its inaugural flight in July 2023. For travelers affected by the airline's exit, private jet charter services like Jettly offer flexible alternatives to traditional commercial flights.
