Alaska Airlines stalls plan for extra flights in Everett
EVERETT — Alaska Airlines’ plan to boost its flight schedule at Paine Field to more than a dozen daily round trips is on hold until January.
In June, before the COVID-19 Delta variant surged, the Seattle-based carrier planned this fall to operate 13 daily flights and serve 10 destinations from the Everett terminal.
But the Delta variant prompted travelers to postpone or cancel trips, causing some airlines to scale back their flight schedules.
Alaska Airlines — the only airline serving the two-gate terminal after United Airlines ended operations there earlier this month — expects to operate 12 peak-day departures from Paine Field beginning Jan. 4, Alaska spokesman Ray Lane said.
