It was originally published on Friday, October 16, 2026. Alaska Airlines is the United States' fifth-largest operator by fleet size, scheduled passengers carried, and number of destinations served. In October, data from Cirium Diio shows that the oneworld member has an average of 1,503 daily movements (takeoffs and landings combined). 40% involve the airline's Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA) hub. Compared to October 2025, Alaska Airlines' movements have jumped by a substantial 24%. Of course, this is primarily because the Alaska Air Group acquired Hawaiian Airlines, with that carrier's operations now using the 'AS' IATA code. Alaska Airlines' share of the vast US domestic market, for example, has consequently risen from 5% to 7.1%. Alaska Airlines Has Pulled Out Of These Three Airports Analysis of the carrier's full schedule shows that no airport has ceased seeing its airframes this year. Given the size of the airline, this is perhaps surprising. Many other major operators have removed airports from their portfolios, with recent examinations of Air Canada, easyJet, Lufthansa, Qantas, Ryanair, WestJet, and others showing this. However, Alaska Airlines has removed multiple routes, including internationally and routes from specific airports, such as San Francisco International Airport (SFO). Alaska Airlines removed three airports from its network in 2025, all of which are summarized below. They include the large Mexican city of Monterrey, which has the nation's second-largest urban economy. Monterrey is the primary industrial and manufacturing powerhouse of northern Mexico. When all airlines are included, the market from Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) to Monterrey International Airport (MTY) had 126,000 round-trip passengers last year, mainly comprising Mexicans and Mexican Americans. Alaska Airlines deployed SkyWest's 76-seat Embraer E175s, with four weekly departures. End Month* Airport Served Since?

US Department of Transportation (DOT) data shows that just 66.2% of seats were filled. Combined with LAX having one of the lowest fares from the US to the Mexican airport and the E175's high seat-mile costs, the cessation was perhaps anticipated. Alaska Airlines To Nassau Credit: Tom Path | Shutterstock The carrier took off from SEA to Nassau's Lynden Pindling International Airport (NAS) nearly three years ago, on December 15, 2023. This was the same day that LAX-NAS service began, with both routes launching in time for the run-up to Christmas and the new year. SEA flights operated three times weekly using the 178-seat Boeing 737 MAX 9, while those from LAX had up to four weekly departures, mainly on the same equipment. Both routes were scheduled similarly, as shown below. The aircraft and crew remained overnight and left the Caribbean the following morning. Caribbean-Bound Leg; Local Times Local Times (December 2023) US-Bound Leg Local Times (December 2023 SEA-NAS 9:00 AM-6:15 PM NAS-SEA 10:00 AM-2:05 PM LAX-NAS 10:40 AM-6:55 PM NAS-LAX 11:00 AM-1:43 PM SEA-NAS was record-breaking for various reasons, including being SEA's first route to the Caribbean. Significantly, it was also Alaska Airlines' longest nonstop service in 2023. Covering 2,508 nautical miles (4,645 km), it exceeded what was usually number one, Anchorage to Kona, by a mere 13 nautical miles (24 km). As usual, the distances are based on the great circle and not real-world operations. NAS flights ended less than two years after they began. DOT data shows that 18,599 passengers were transported to/from SEA with an obviously very poor load factor of 59.8%. LAX had much more traffic (41,131 passengers) and a higher but still-low load factor (67.2%). No wonder both routes ended in August 2025. Seattle Remains The Most-Served Airport, But... Credit: Catharine Pierce | Shutterstock Let's return to October 2026. Alaska Airlines and Hawaiian Airlines operate under a single operating certificate and use the AS code, although the pair retain separate identities. The joining up is, of course, why SEA only accounts for 40% of Alaska Airlines' total movements, down from 49% last October and 51% in October 2024. SEA remains the operator's most-served hub, with 605 movements this month. Portland is second with 286, followed by San Diego International Airport (SAN) in third place with 206. Alaska Airlines has been growing very strongly at SAN, which is partly why it is the world's fastest-growing major airport for flights. Honolulu's Daniel K. Inouye International Airport (HNL) is now fourth in Alaska Airlines' network, with 201 daily movements.
