Alaska Air: Customer Credit Cards Were Misused

SEATTLE (AP) ― About 1,500 people who bought tickets from Alaska or Horizon airlines have been notified their credit cards were misused.

Alaska Air says a call center employee diverted some payments to a personal account.

Customers are not responsible for repaying the diversions that took place between August 2006 and June 2008.

The Seattle-based parent company for the airlines says it notified police and is cooperating with the investigation.

Alaska Air says customers should review their credit card statements for any unauthorized transactions.

Alaska Airlines is the ninth-largest U.S. commercial airline, serving 59 destinations, mainly on the West Coast.
