Northern Pacific Airways is not going to Alaska, for now. The carrier’s previous business plan was to use Anchorage as a connecting waypoint linking the United States with Asia.
Instead the carrier has announced it will launch its first route on June 2, a much shorter route linking the current Ontario, CA (ONT) base with Las Vegas (LAS) according to Ailevon Pacific Aviation Consulting.
The service is basically a weekend service to Las Vegas as it will depart ONT on Fridays and return to ONT on Sundays.
The company officially made this announcement:
Northern Pacific Airways (NP), America’s newest low-fare airline, is launching its first route and inaugural passenger flight this spring with Los Angeles-area service departing from convenient Ontario International Airport (ONT), with nonstop service to Las Vegas, NV, with fares starting from just $69* one way.
“This announcement today represents the achievement of a major milestone for Northern Pacific Airways,” said Rob McKinney, Northern Pacific Airways’ CEO. “The airline now has a live flight schedule, purchasable tickets, and refurbished aircraft ready to go, and I can’t wait for passengers to meet our team onboard and fly with us.”
“I know that our weekend getaway flights will be an incredibly convenient and cost-effective way for people to enjoy themselves in the entertainment capital of the world, Las Vegas,” said McKinney. “I’m especially thankful to our team around the world and especially to those in Anchorage, Alaska for their dedication and hard work.”
Los Angeles flights will leave from Ontario International Airport (ONT) on Fridays at 14:00 local time and arrive into Las Vegas’s Harry Reid International Airport (LAS) approximately one hour later. Return flights are scheduled to leave Las Vegas at 14:00 on Sundays and arrive in Ontario at 15:00 local time.
Service commences June 2, 2023 and is available to be booked on select online travel agencies and through your travel agent.** Passengers can book directly on https://np.com/
Northern Pacific Airways flights will be operated by their fully refurbished Boeing 757-200 aircraft, which, in addition to its leather economy class seat cabin, includes a business class–style cabin with seats in a two-by-two configuration.
