Alaska Airlines will bring back nonstop service between Seattle Paine Field International Airport (PAE) and Portland International Airport (PDX) in June 2026. This will reestablish a route long requested by travelers throughout the Puget Sound region. The daily service, beginning June 10th, will once again link Snohomish County passengers with one of Alaska’s key West Coast hubs.
The route will be operated by Horizon Air under the AlaskaHorizon brand using Embraer E175 aircraft with 12 First Class, 16 Premium Class, and 36 Economy Class seats. The reinstated flights will provide convenient access to Alaska Airlines’ wider network and enable one-stop travel to major destinations across the United States. Alaska says restoring the service will enhance connectivity for both business and leisure travelers. In addition to this returning flight, Alaska currently flies nonstop from Seattle Paine Field International Airport (PAE) to:
- Las Vegas Harry Reid International Airport (LAS)
- Los Angeles International Airport (LAX)
- Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport (PHX)
- San Diego International Airport (SAN)
- San Francisco International Airport (SFO)
Brett Smith, CEO of Propeller Airports, said:
We’re thrilled that Alaska is bringing Portland service back to Paine Field. Guests have been asking for this route to return, and we’re excited that our customers will have a fast, easy, and reliable option that links two of the Pacific Northwest’s most important economic and cultural hubs.”
Anthony’s Take: The return of this route marks another step in Alaska Airlines’ ongoing effort to expand passenger choice and strengthen its regional footprint.
