Alaska Airlines will inaugurate service between San Jose, Calif., and Guadalajara, Mexico, starting Dec 15, 2010, and between Sacramento, Calif., and Guadalajara, starting Dec 16, 2010. Tickets will go on sale pending government approval of the new routes.
"We are pleased to be able to offer more service to this important Central Mexico market from two new gateways," said Joe Sprague, Alaska Airlines' vice president of marketing. "Alaska Airlines has served Guadalajara from Los Angeles since 2003, and we look forward to expanding our reach to our customers in the Bay Area."
The new flights will be operated with Boeing 737-800 aircraft, accommodating 16 passengers in first class and 141 in the main cabin.
