Alaska Airlines tar bort 15 flyglinjer på västkusten under 2026

Alaska Airlines lägger ner omkring 15 flyglinjer från stora städer på västkusten som Los Angeles och San Francisco under 2026. Nedskärningarna, som beror på låg efterfrågan, kommer att ge resenärer färre alternativ, även om flygbolaget planerar att lägga till nya linjer på andra håll. Frekventa resenärer har uttryckt frustration över förändringarna.

Alaska Airlines har tagit bort linjer från nav på västkusten sedan januari 2026, med omkring sex ytterligare nedskärningar planerade för maj och juni. Los Angeles och San Francisco står inför de största förlusterna, där fyra respektive sju linjer läggs ner. Berörda rutter från San Francisco inkluderar flygningar till Boston, Austin, Orlando, Newark, Burbank, Phoenix och Salt Lake City. Los Angeles har redan förlorat trafik till Reno, San Jose och Las Vegas, medan San Jose kommer att se flygningar till Los Cabos, Puerto Vallarta och Guadalajara upphöra i maj. San Diegos flyglinje till Atlanta drogs in i mars.
