Daily, year-round service will link families,
friends, businesses and industry in two key regions
SEATTLE, Aug. 26,
2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Alaska Airlines is connecting
the newest commercial airport in the Seattle area with another one of our main
hubs: New daily, nonstop service between Everett and Anchorage begins Nov. 30, 2022. Tickets for flights between Paine
Field-Snohomish County Airport and the state of Alaska's largest city are available for
purchase now on alaskaair.com.
"We listened to our guests who live and work from north of
Seattle to the Canadian border.
They told us one of their top requests is a nonstop flight between
Everett and Anchorage," said
Brett Catlin, vice president of
network and alliances for Alaska Airlines. "There's a significant
need and demand to connect workers and businesses in the two
regions – from the fishing industry to aviation – in addition to
the desire for leisure travel. We're ready to welcome our guests on
this new route this fall."
"For Economic Alliance Snohomish County, the City of Everett and Paine Field, we are
thankful for the rich history of business and community engagement
provided by Alaska Airlines. This announcement is another example
of Alaska Airlines' willingness to be forward thinking, valuing its
customers to create desired opportunities for travel and
connection," said Garry Clark,
president and CEO at Economic Alliance Snohomish County. "This is
extra sweet due to Alaska Airlines' history: Anchorage served as
the first flight location for Alaska Airlines and its founder
Linious McGee back in 1932.
Snohomish County is grateful for
Alaska and its continued efforts
at Paine Field."
With the new nonstop from Everett, operated by Alaska Airlines sister
airline Horizon Air, Anchorage becomes the farthest destination and
longest flight we'll serve from that airport, and it's also our
first route to fly north from it. On the operations side, Horizon
began operating a new 74,000 square foot hangar and maintenance
facility on the Paine Field property this year that can accommodate
up to four E175 aircraft at a time.
