Alaska Airlines, in partnership with Kenmore Air, is ready to take you to one of Western Washington’s iconic vacation spots: the San Juan Islands, located north of Seattle.
You’ll fly on Alaska through Paine Field-Snohomish County Airport in Everett and connect on Kenmore Air’s modern fleet of Cessna Caravan aircraft to Friday Harbor on San Juan Island or Eastsound on Orcas Island.
We’ve been serving guests at Paine Field in Everett since regularly scheduled commercial service began there in March 2019. In the past four years, we’ve flown more than 1.6 million guests to and from Everett.
Alaska currently offers 28 daily flights in Everett – 14 arrivals and 14 departures a day – to seven destinations; on April 17, our seasonal flight to Palm Springs is replaced by daily service to Los Angeles:
Horizon Air provides most of our service at Paine Field with the Embraer 175 jet, with 737 service on select flights operated by Alaska.
Horizon Air (Alaska Horizon) is planning to retire and operate its last Bombardier DHC-8-402 (Q400) revenue flight today.
Today’s date was selected because the turboprop was introduced by Horizon Air 22 years ago on January 26, 2001.
Horizon Air will become an all-jet airline.
Horizon Air was founded in 1981 by entrepreneur Milt Kuolt and a group of venture capitalists in Seattle, Horizon had fewer than 100 employees at that time and operated a fleet of two Fairchild F-27 propjets.
Update: The last revenue flight (flight AS9986) was operated with N421QX (above) on January 26, 2023 between Seattle-Tacoma (SEA) and Portland arriving at 9:40 pm (2140).
