Alaska Airlines has announced the introduction of new nonstop services from San Diego to Phoenix, commencing on August 20. Additional daily flights to Chicago O’Hare and Denver will begin on October 4. This information was shared in a post on X.

According to Alaska Airlines’ official newsroom, the airline is launching these three new nonstop routes as part of a 30% increase in overall flight capacity from San Diego. The expansion will make San Diego Alaska’s second-largest city for departures, with 52 peak-day departures expected by the end of the year.

As reported by NBC San Diego, Alaska Airlines and its affiliate Hawaiian Airlines will now serve 44 nonstop destinations from San Diego International Airport—more than any other carrier. The new services aim to enhance connectivity across key business and leisure markets, including Florida, Mexico, and Hawaii. This expansion aligns with Alaska’s broader strategy to strengthen its regional travel presence from Southern California.
