Alaska Airlines announced today that it is adding three new nonstop routes from San Diego International Airport (SAN). Chicago O’Hare International Airport (ORD), Denver International Airport (DEN), and Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport (PHX) will all launch this summer and fall with multiple daily flights.
The new routes will begin as follows:
- Chicago O’Hare International Airport (ORD) (3x daily; starts on October 4th)
- Denver International Airport (DEN) (3x daily; starts on October 4th)
- Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport (PHX) (3x daily; starts on August 20th)
Alaska is the largest airline at San Diego International Airport (SAN) with 44 nonstop destinations and more than 90 peak-day departures. Starting October 26th, the carrier will also add flights to some of its most popular routes. Some of these routes will increase by 50% or more. These include six daily nonstop flights to Las Vegas Harry Reid International Airport (LAS), Sacramento International Airport (SMF), and San José Mineta International Airport (SJC) as well as three daily flights to Salt Lake City International Airport (SLC).
Ben Minicucci, CEO at Alaska Air Group, said:
We’re proud to already serve San Diego and the surrounding region with the most nonstop destinations from San Diego. These exciting new additions to our network further expand our ability to take San Diegans directly to where they want to go, better than any other airline, with our premium onboard service and global loyalty program.”
Kimberly Becker, San Diego County Regional Airport Authority President and CEO, added:
We are very pleased that Alaska Airlines is continuing to grow its service from San Diego. The timing is perfect for adding new routes and increasing frequency to existing flights. We look forward to welcoming both leisure and business visitors to our year-round sunny climate while providing more flights from SAN to destinations across the country.”
Anthony’s Take: Alaska pulled a few routes earlier this week and exited Nassau completely. Now, we’re seeing it double down on popular routes as well as adding some others that better align with its network and customers.
