SEATTLE, June 3, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- With increasing
confidence that air travel is on a steady climb to return to
pre-pandemic levels in the coming year, Alaska Airlines is planning
to resume our full schedule of 18 daily nonstop departures at Paine
Field-Snohomish County Airport by spring 2022, possibly earlier.
The airport in Everett, north of
Seattle, remains very popular with
our guests.
As part of the path to recovery, we'll have 13 daily departures
at Paine Field later this fall – up from five now – as we bring
back more destinations, increase flight frequencies and even add an
exciting new route to Tucson,
Arizona.
"It has definitely been a difficult stretch, but our commitment
to Paine Field never wavered," said Brett
Catlin, vice president of network and alliances at Alaska
Airlines. "Our guests love the convenience of the airport. Next
year, as we continue to offer additional flights, we'll be in a
position to resume our full allotment of 18 departures every day to
the places our guests want to fly to the most."
On June 17, Alaska will fly to five destinations from
Everett: Las Vegas, Orange
County, Phoenix,
San Diego and San Francisco. Here's more of what's ahead at
Paine Field:
- On Sept. 8, we'll jump to 11
daily departures to seven destinations as we add two flights a day
to both Boise and Spokane, along with second daily flights to
both Las Vegas and Phoenix.
- On Oct. 7, we bring back our
seasonal flight to Palm
Springs.
- On Nov. 19, we'll launch our new
seasonal service to Tucson,
another popular getaway for wintertime warmth in the desert.
That means, just in time for the holiday travel season,
Alaska will have 13 daily
departures to nine destinations from the north Puget Sound airport
that's easy to get in and out of. Tickets are available for
purchase now for all Paine Field flights on alaskaair.com,
including the new service between Everett and Tucson.
Horizon Air provides the all-jet service for our
flights that serve Paine Field with the Embraer 175 aircraft,
which features First Class and Premium Class, and only window and
aisle seating – there are no middle seats. Guests can enjoy
hundreds of free movies and TV shows available for viewing on
personal devices; free texting on most flights; and Wi-Fi
connectivity for purchase.
As flyers begin traveling again, Alaska remains committed to Next-Level
Care for its guests and employees – from clean planes to clean
air in the cabin (with hospital-grade air filtration systems).
Alaska also continues to enforce
the federally mandated mask policy even for those who are fully
vaccinated.
