Alaska Airlines Adds Flights Out of Paine Field in Everett

The airline will boost seats from Paine Field by 50% through next spring with new routes, added flights and larger Boeing 737s.

  • On Thursday, Alaska Airlines announced twice-daily nonstop service from Paine Field to San Jose International Airport beginning April 14, 2027, expanding the carrier's footprint in the North Puget Sound region.
  • Alaska aims to strengthen its Seattle-area network by boosting passenger capacity at Paine Field by 50% through next summer, addressing persistent traveler demand for convenient, home-adjacent flight options.
  • Alongside the new San Jose route, the carrier will deploy larger Boeing 737 aircraft on Los Angeles routes and increase Portland service to twice daily, providing significantly more seats to West Coast destinations.
  • "These added flights give travelers more nonstop options close to home," Propeller Airports CEO Brett Smith said, noting the expansion provides simpler access to the South Bay for North Puget Sound residents.
  • Alaska also plans to add 15 international long-haul routes from Seattle by 2030, leveraging its recent acquisition of Hawaiian Airlines and infrastructure upgrades to strengthen its broader West Coast position.
