(ANCHORAGE, Alaska) – Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport (ANC) and Fairbanks International Airport (FAI) are thrilled to announce Alaska Airlines’ exciting service expansions starting in May 2025. These new routes will provide enhanced connectivity and convenience for travelers, solidifying ANC and FAI as key gateways to and from Alaska.
Starting in May 2025:

• FAI will receive daily summer seasonal service to Portland International Airport (PDX).
• ANC will benefit from two additional daily flights to Portland International Airport (PDX).

Starting in June 2025:

• ANC will receive seasonal summer weekly Saturday service to Detroit (DTW) and Sacramento (SMF).

The expanded routes offer travelers more options for exploring Alaska’s stunning landscapes and connecting to major destinations across the United States. These additions are expected to further boost tourism and economic ties between Alaska and the Lower 48.

“We are excited to welcome Alaska Airlines’ expanded service at both Anchorage and Fairbanks airports. These new routes provide more opportunities for Alaskans to connect with the world and for visitors to experience the beauty of our state,” said Angie Spear, Alaska International Airport Director. “Alaska Airlines’ commitment to growing its presence in Alaska highlights the importance of our state as a destination and a hub for travel. We are proud to support this expansion and encourage travelers to take advantage of these new options.”

The additional flights will align with peak summer travel demand, offering convenient schedules for leisure and business travelers alike.

“It will now be even easier for visitors to get to Alaska this summer and start their vacation. And Alaskans will enjoy more nonstops to visit family and friends in the Lower 48,” said Marilyn Romano, regional vice president of Alaska at Alaska Airlines.

This service expansion highlights Alaska Airlines’ dedication to strengthening Alaska’s aviation network and delivering high-quality, reliable service to both travelers and visitors through its extensive and robust network.
