Alaska Applies for Seasonal Routes to Three Mexican Cities

Alaska Airlines applied to the U.S. Deptartment of Transportation last month for authority to fly nonstop between Seattle and Cancun, Mexico, and between Portland, Oregon, and Los Cabos and Puerto Vallarta, Mexico.

If approved, the seasonal flights would operate this year from the end of October to the end of April.

The airline plans to offer nonstop service four days a week between Seattle and Cancun and Portland and Los Cabos, and three days a week between Portland and Puerto Vallarta.

Alaska Airlines introduced service to Mexico in 1988. During its winter schedule, the airline operates 38 daily flights to nine Mexican destinations.
