Alaska Airline Comments
“These new routes represent a significant milestone in making Alaska more accessible than ever before,” explains Kirsten Amrine, Vice President of Network Planning and Revenue Management at Alaska Airlines.
“By offering direct flights from Detroit and Sacramento to Anchorage, we’re eliminating layovers and providing travelers with a more efficient way to experience Alaska. Portland residents will also benefit from convenient nonstop access to Fairbanks, opening up new possibilities for exploration in the Interior region.”
Marilyn Romano, Regional Vice President of Alaska at Alaska Airlines, emphasizes the unique summer appeal of The Great Land.
“Alaska transforms into a truly magical destination during our summer months, featuring extended daylight hours that seem to stretch endlessly, rich cultural experiences waiting to be discovered, and the finest wild seafood imaginable.”
“Anchorage serves as the perfect gateway for travelers to explore our diverse communities, embark on cruise adventures, or venture into the wilderness. These additional routes also provide Alaskans with expanded opportunities to connect with family and friends across the country.”
