Zacks Investment Research | Feb 19, 2019 09:40PM ET
Alaska Air Group’s (NYSE:ALK) wholly owned subsidiary Alaska Airlines has launched a daily nonstop service between Seattle-Tacoma International Airport and El Paso International Airport. Simultaneously, it has begun daily nonstop flights connecting El Paso with San Diego.
The carrier is plying on the routes using Embraer 175 jets, featuring extra legroom and several other modern amenities in the premium and first class.
El Paso is Alaska Airlines’ 90th nonstop destination from Seattle, its largest hub. Additionally, the West Texas city is the carrier’s 31st nonstop destination from San Diego. Notably, El Paso was never served by Alaska Airlines until the nonstop flight introduction.
Apart from El Paso, Alaska Airlines currently operates nonstop flights to Austin and Dallas Love Field in Texas from San Diego.
The newly initiated operations are key positives for the carrier’s growth as it benefits from rising travel demand. On the back of this tailwind, the airline has been generating strong passenger revenues. The carrier’s passenger revenues totaled $1,907 million during the fourth quarter, indicating a year-over-year rise of 6%. Alongside solid passenger revenues, the carrier’s overall results have been impressive. (Read more: Alaska Air Group's Q4 Earnings & Revenues Top Estimates )
