The airline’s commercial chief, Drew Wells, gave an “unequivocally yes” response when asked about international expansion on Tuesday.

Service to the state of Alaska, and especially Anchorage, has been increasing exponentially over the past several years.

The carrier will boost its presence on the U.S. West Coast, joining existing service to Portland, San Francisco, and Los Angeles.

Currently, the Dallas-based carrier operates up to 40 flights per day between the U.S. mainland and the Hawaiian Islands. 

In a statement, the Atlanta-based carrier shared that it hopes these flights will attract both leisure and business travelers.
