Alaska Airlines is launching another new route - nonstop between San Diego and Atlanta. This new route won't start until 16th May next year and from then on, it will be a daily operation. Alaska will compete directly with Delta Air Lines which already operates up to six daily flights between the two cities and provides an excellent onward connection service at Atlanta.
"We want to provide our guests in San Diego the most nonstop options,” said Kirsten Amrine, vice president of revenue management and network planning for Alaska Airlines. “Not only are San Diego and Atlanta popular destinations for leisure travellers, but both are also major business hubs. We’re excited to connect the cities, especially since Atlanta is our largest unserved transcontinental market from San Diego.”
“We appreciate Alaska Airlines' new options to destinations across the country,” said Kimberly Becker, San Diego County Regional Airport Authority President & CEO. “This new nonstop service to Atlanta offers Southern Californians direct access to Georgia’s capital and key economic centre, while providing easy access for Georgians to the warmth and beauty of San Diego.”
