Alaska Airlines announced today new seasonal service at one of the airline’s key hubs in Alaska with new nonstop service between Anchorage and Minneapolis-St. Paul. This additional nonstop flight means Alaska Airlines will provide the most nonstops from the state of Alaska than any other carrier.

“We are looking forward to welcoming more guests to the Great Land in 2021 and expanding service for the residents of Alaska,” saidย Marilyn Romano, Alaska Airlines‘ regional vice president. “With a massive network across the state and our naturally socially distanced outdoor spaces, this routeโ€ฏoffers easyโ€ฏaccess to Denali, kayaking, sightseeing,โ€ฏand the most sustainably managed fishingโ€ฏin the world. Alaska is a safe and attractive travel destination for friends and family.”
