Horizon Air today announced several changes to its summer schedule. The
new schedule increases service in several markets while refining others
to meet shifting summer demand.
The summer schedule focuses on increased service in the states of
Montana, California and Idaho as well as the cities of Reno, Nevada and
Portland, Ore. Below is a market-by-market listing. All changes take
effect on June 6, unless noted otherwise.
Increased Service
-
Portland to Burbank and Ontario: Horizon is adding a new flight
between Portland and Burbank and a new flight between Portland and
Ontario. Both will operate five days a week (excluding Tuesdays and
Saturdays) to meet increased seasonal demand for service to Southern
California from Portland. Horizon currently flies three times a day
between Portland and both Burbank and Ontario.
-
Portland-San Francisco: Horizon is adding a sixth daily flight
between Portland and San Francisco.
-
Reno to Los Angeles and Seattle: Horizon is adding a fourth
daily flight between Reno and Los Angeles. Additionally, it is adding
two new daily flights between Seattle and Reno, increasing its daily
service between these two cities to five.
-
Seattle to Billings, Bozeman, Kalispell and Missoula: Horizon
is increasing service between four Montana cities and Seattle.
Billings will receive a third daily flight. Bozeman will receive two
nonstop flights (one changed from a one-stop, and a newly added
nonstop flight) for a total of three. Starting June 13, Kalispell will
receive a third flight and Missoula will receive a fourth flight.
-
Sun Valley to Los Angeles and Seattle: Horizon will resume
summer season service to Sun Valley with one daily flight from Seattle
starting May 28 and one daily flight from Los Angeles starting June 26.
Reduced Service
-
Portland-Long Beach: Starting April 20, Horizon will
permanently discontinue its two daily nonstop flights between Portland
and Long Beach. Service from Portland to Long Beach will continue to
be available via a connection in Seattle.
-
Palm Springs-Sacramento: Horizon will reduce its daily flight
between Palm Springs and Sacramento to twice a week for the summer
off-season, operating the route on Fridays and Sundays only. Daily
service will resume in the fall.
-
Yakima-Seattle: Horizon will reduce flights between Yakima and
Seattle to three, down from four, to reflect the traditionally weaker
demand that starts with the summer season.
-
Billings-Helena: Horizon will permanently discontinue nonstop
service between Billings and Helena. A flight that is currently routed
Billings-Helena-Seattle will instead operate nonstop between Billings
and Seattle for a total of three daily nonstops for the summer. Both
of the two daily flights from Helena and Great Falls to Seattle will
be combined on one routing in combinations of nonstop and direct
(one-stop) service.
-
Eugene-Redmond: Horizon will permanently stop operating nonstop
service between Eugene and Redmond. A flight that is currently routed
Eugene-Redmond-Los Angeles will instead operate nonstop between
Redmond and Los Angeles. Eugene passengers traveling to Los Angeles
will continue to have several connection opportunities through
Portland and Seattle.
Horizon serves 48 cities throughout Arizona, California, Oregon,
Washington, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, Baja California Sur (Mexico), and
British Columbia and Alberta (Canada). Together, Horizon Air and Alaska
Airlines serve more than 90 cities and are subsidiaries of Alaska Air
Group, Inc. (NYSE:ALK).
