Alaska Airlines to add Hawaii services from Everett

On June 9, Alaska Airlines announced its intent to launch Honolulu services from Seattle’s second airport, Paine Field (PAE).

Thus far, Alaska Airlines operate to Honolulu out of Seattle’s Tacoma Int’l Airport (SEA), and as of November 17, the company will be operating to the destination from the two Seattle airports.

The Paine Field airport serves as a greater alternative for travel to the northern points of Seattle, thus making it more convenient for travel to a certain group. Alaska Airlines started regularly scheduled operations into Paine Field in March of 2019.

Hawaii on the charts

Alaska Airlines puts Hawaii on the chart once again, this time with a second scheduled service out of the Seattle area and Paine Field Airport (PAE). As of November 17, the company will operate the Everett to Honolulu service with the fleet of Boeing 737 aircraft on a daily frequency.

The first part of the program will act under their Thanksgiving-Winter Holiday 2023 schedule until January 7, with the timetable as follows:

Starting January 8, the route schedule will continue as a year-round service, also with daily flights. The time table will have changed slightly, looking as follows:

Statements

On the new to-come service, Daniel Chun, director of sales, community and public relations in Hawaii for Alaska Airlines, said the following:

“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.”

Eight gateways to Hawaii

When the new route takes place, Alaska Airlines will offer services to Hawaii from eight West-Coast gateways, the gateways being 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.

Alaska Airlines marked 15 years of service to the islands of Hawaii this past fall, commemorating the company’s first flight between Seattle and Honolulu on October 12, 2007.

The company launched services between Seattle, Lihue and Kauai roughly two weeks later, shortly followed by the launch of Honolulu services from Anchorage. In 2008, the company also began serving Kona on the Island of Hawaii and Kahului on Maui.
