Alaska Airlines is all set to launch nonstop flights connecting Everett/Paine Field and Honolulu starting November 17. The airline will operate daily flights deploying its Boeing 737-900 configured for 178 passengers.
As of now, Alaska Airlines connects Honolulu from Seattle’s Tacoma Int’l Airport. With the launch of new route, the airline will serve the tourist destination Honolulu from two airports in Seattle.
Alaska Airlines started regularly scheduled operations into Paine Field in March of 2019.
Commenting on the new route, Daniel Chun, director of sales, community and public relations, Alaska Airlines said: “For those traveling between Honolulu and Washington State, flying into Seattle/Everett will be a terrific, less congested option and a great way to access the greater Seattle area. With this new flight, we’ll fly a combined six nonstops a day to the two Seattle area airports from Oahu, providing our leisure and business travelers with a variety of flight times that work best for them.”
Post the launch of new route, Alaska Airlines will offer services to Hawaii from eight West-Coast gateways, namely Anchorage, Seattle/Everett, Seattle, Portland, San Francisco, San Jose, Los Angeles and San Diego.
Across these eight West-Coast gateways, the company serves the Hawaiian destinations of Oahu, Maui, Kauai and Honolulu, spread over an average of 30 daily non-stop flights.
