Alaska Airlines details top ten longest routes from Los Angeles

Alaska Airlines operates an extensive network in California, with Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) serving as a significant hub. The airline averages over 2,000 departures monthly from LAX, offering a mix of domestic and international flights. At LAX, Alaska is the fifth-largest carrier by passenger capacity after Delta, American, United, and Southwest Airlines.

The consolidation of airlines has allowed Alaska to hold a market share of 6.48% at LAX. "It's not common in the US for a fifth-largest airline at an airport to command a market share of more than 6%, but the consolidation of airline businesses over the years has led to this," according to industry observations.

Following its acquisition of Virgin America in 2016 and merger with Hawaiian Airlines, Alaska secured additional slots at busy airports like LAX. The merger also enhanced its presence at other U.S. airports where Hawaiian had operations.
