Alaska Airlines

The airline is doubling its space at an important hub in the Pacific Northwest.

The airline said it has made changes based on the agency’s audit.

The 41,000-square-foot space is expected to open in late 2027.

Flights will operate once daily, year-round.

The carrier is restoring service to a California city it has not served in years.

Flights will start this fall.

Service will operate daily through Oct. 23.

Officials said membership will improve connectivity for customers and expand access to the Hawaiian Islands.

A merger between the two carriers was discussed but failed to gain support, insiders said.

The carrier cited higher fuel prices and an “uncertain global environment.”
