Alaska Airlines adds Hawaii flights from Sacramento, San Jose

Puget Sound Business Journal (Seattle)

Alaska Airlines said it will inaugurate service to Hawaii from the California cities of Sacramento and San Jose beginning in March 2010.
Alaska Airlines, a subsidiary of Alaska Air Group Inc. (NYSE: ALK) of Seattle, said with those new routes, 11 percent of its capacity will be dedicated to flying to Hawaii. The airline appears to be taking advantage of the demise of Hawaiian carriers ATA and Aloha airlines with the service additions in California. On Monday, the airline began service to Hawaii from Oakland.
Three-times-weekly service will begin March 11, 2010 between San Jose and Maui and four-times-weekly service will begin March 12 between San Jose and Kona on the Big Island of Hawaii. On March 26, Alaska will begin flying daily between Sacramento and Maui.
“In just two years, Hawaii has become a major part of our route network. With the new service ... Alaska Airlines will have 73 roundtrip flights a week serving the Hawaiian Islands,” said Steve Jarvis, Alaska’s vice president of marketing, sales and customer experience, in a statement.

Let's hope these are additional block hours and it leads to quicker recalls.
 
For November, advanced bookings are up 2.5 points from the same month last year, while December bookings are up 3.5 points, said Alaska Airlines President Bradley Tilden

The airline began service to Hawaii from Oakland.

Alaska Airlines announced today it will inaugurate service between San Jose, Calif., and Kahului, Maui, and four-times-weekly service between San Jose and Kona. The airline also announced it will offer daily flights between Sacramento, Calif., and Maui.

Airline's Hawaii service grows to 73 roundtrips a week, including 21 roundtrips from Bay Area and Sacramento

Alaska Airlines is adding about 40 flights around the Christmas period.

Alaska canceled over 15 flights in October due to lack of crews. I want to know who is going to fly all this additional capacity?
 
You guys do have a great route structure, and are capitalizing on Aloha's demise. Nobody else has added the Hawaii stuff until recently (CAL is adding LAX--HNL/OGG and SNA/HNL). Good for you guys.

Bye Bye--General Lee
 
Good luck getting back guys. How many are on furlough now at AS? 105 -106? Aren't only 10 planes ETOPS approved or did they get more? We have 84 at QX and no recalls in the future. Sad. For the first round of furloughs at QX this is the one year aniversary of being F'd.
