Last week, Delta announced the resumption of its Salt Lake City to Fairbanks, Alaska route next summer. The carrier has also decided to increase service for the coming tourist season in the state.
The airline recently resumed the Detroit to Anchorage route, which came back this past summer after a multi-year hiatus, and is going from three times a week to daily service, Ishrion Aviation reported.
In addition, the route from the airline’s largest hub in Atlanta to Anchorage will see more seats. For many years, the route was flown by the Boeing 767-300, but has more recently operated on the Boeing 757-200. The carrier resumes the route at the beginning of June 2025, but starting June 22, it will be upgrading the aircraft back to the Boeing 767–300.
Service to the state of Alaska, and especially Anchorage, has been increasing exponentially over the past few years with the state now being connected to most of the major airline hubs in the lower 48 during the summer season.
