Direct flights between Kelowna International Airport (YLW) and the Seattle-Tacoma Airport (SEA) on Alaska Airlines have resumed after being curtailed earlier this year.

The airline is offering non-stop flights between Kelowna and Seattle, with connections to destinations across the Alaska Airlines network to destinations such as Hawaii, Chicago and Los Angeles.

“We are delighted to have Alaska Airlines back at YLW, providing our passengers with more options to travel to the United States and beyond,” Sam Samaddar, YLW Chief Executive Officer, said. “Seattle is a popular destination for business and leisure travellers alike.”

Alaska Airlines is now operating Embraer 175 (E175) jets on flights between Kelowna and Seattle. The E175 jet features 12 seats in first class, 12 in premium class and 52 in the main cabin.
