Today’s new service is another example of Alaska’s focus on enhancing the travel experience for those who live and work in our region.”
New commercial air service at Paine Field is expected to save time and money for the more than one million travelers who live in North Puget Sound. They’ll enjoy shorter commutes between Paine Field and their homes and businesses, easing traffic congestion and adding personal and productivity time.
