Alaska Airlines Aims To Launch New Flights To Jackson Hole
Alaska Air Group’s (ALK - Free Report) subsidiary Alaska Airlines announced plans of adding new seasonal routes to Jackson Hole, Wyo to take advantage of the improvement in leisure air travel demand, following the easing of restrictions.
Commencing on Dec 17, 2020 through Apr 11, 2021 Alaska Airlines will operate five times a week from Seattle and San Diego to Jackson Hole. Further, beginning on Dec 19, 2020 through Apr 10, 2021 the carrier will operate twice a week from San Jose to Jackson Hole.
Ticket bookings for all the three routes till Sep 2 will attract a special introductory fare.
