Alaska Airlines is to offer a seasonal service to Jackson Hole Airport in Wyoming with nonstop flights between Seattle and the first nonstop flights from San Jose California and San Diego.
Describing Jackson Hole and the surrounding Grant Teton mountain range as offering a “legendary winter playground,” Brett Catlin, Alaska’s Managing Director of capacity planning and alliances, said the region offered a “rich history, amazing service, and plenty of activities both on and off the mountain.” He added that, “We know our guests on the West Coast are looking for nonstop access to more outdoor locales and we’re excited to expand our footprint with the addition of Jackson Hole.”
The flights will be operated on Embraer 175 jet aircraft and are scheduled to start later this year with the five-times weekly service from Seattle and Sand Diego operating from 17 December through until 11 April 2021. Twice weekly flights from San Jose are scheduled from 19 December through 10 April. The flight schedules have been designed to allow for maximum time on the slopes.
“We know this is a challenging time for travellers and for our local community; offering nonstop service to Jackson Hole will appeal to skiers/ snowboarders and winter enthusiasts, while providing a great option for many of our locals with family and/ or business connections on the West Coast,” said Senator Mike Gierau, chair of JH Air.
