This spring, they are launching several new cross-country routes and creating more options for seamless global shipping connections — as well as increasing capacity across their shared Alaska Air Cargo-Hawaiian Air Cargo network.
These are a few of the exciting shipping opportunities coming over the next few months:
New cross-country routes On March 17, Alaska Air Cargo becomes the first passenger airline with nonstop service between San Diego (SAN) and Reagan International Airport (DCA). Later this spring, they will also begin service between San Diego and Medford, Oregon (MFR), giving them more nonstop flights from San Diego than any passenger airline.
And on May 15, they begin daily nonstop flights between Portland (PDX) and Houston (IAH) – their third Texas destination from Portland, joining existing service to Dallas (DFW) and Austin (AUS). This route provides a new option for companies shipping equipment and supplies between Texas and Prudhoe Bay (SCC), on Alaska’s North Slope.
Expanded capacity to Hawai’i and Alaska In late April, three of their six daily nonstop flights between Seattle (SEA) and Honolulu (HNL) will be on their widebody A330 Hawaiian Airlines aircraft. Daily widebody service between Seattle and Maui (OGG) will also be offered year-round.
And in June, they will launch nonstop cargo service on their passenger flights between Ontario (ONT) and Honolulu, expanding their airfreight options between Southern California and Hawai’i.
Looking ahead to summer: They will increase their widebody capacity between Anchorage (ANC) and Seattle during the peak fishing season, creating more opportunities for streamlined connections between the state of Alaska and global destinations.
New global connections In mid-May, they will launch their first international long-haul shipping service between Seattle and Tokyo Narita (NRT). Additionally, their expanded belly-cargo capacity between the West Coast and Honolulu will create new options for seamless connections between the U.S. and destinations across their global network.
