The plane needed a new paint job, as planes do about every four years. Alaska Airlines covered about $75,000 of the tab, company spokeswoman Amanda Tobin said.

The federally funded Alaska Fisheries Marketing Board paid for the rest of the roughly $300,000 project, said Bill Hines, the board's executive director.

The airline is using the remainder of the marketing board's $500,000 grant for bookmarks that will be passed out to passengers as part of an educational campaign about the state of Alaska's fishing industry, Hines said.
