Alaska Airlines is reducing parts of its route network. The changes affect flights to select destinations in both the U.S. and Mexico.

Among the routes being cut are Los Angeles to Monterrey, Fresno to Guadalajara, Kansas City to Puerto Vallarta, Boise to Orlando, and Sacramento to Orlando.

Station Exit

Service between Los Angeles and Monterrey will end on Oct. 3, while the remaining routes will not return after operating during the previous winter season.

These network changes were first shared by Ishrion Aviation and validated by Cirium Diio schedule data. An airline spokesperson did not respond to AirlineGeeks’ request for comment.

With the Los Angeles-to-Monterrey route ending, Alaska will completely exit the Mexican airport. The airline had just begun serving Monterrey this year.

This development arrives amidst a broader period of network adjustment for Alaska, which finalized its merger with Hawaiian Airlines in 2024. Earlier this year, the carrier announced the termination of four domestic and international routes — such as Los Angeles and San Francisco to Washington Dulles, Chicago O’Hare to San Francisco, and Los Angeles to Nassau, Bahamas—set to end in the coming weeks.

At the time, the airline cited decreasing demand, including a drop in government-related travel on the Washington routes, and competitive pressures in markets like Chicago, as reasons for these changes.
