Alaska Airlines is to expand at Newark Liberty International Airport after getting approval from the FAA.
New services from Newark, New Jersey, to Portland, Oregon and San Diego, California, will start in November 2016, while flights to San Jose, California, launch in March 2017.
A third daily departure from Seattle, Washington to Newark, New Jersey will be added in May 2017.
"We thank the Federal Aviation Administration, and the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey for their efforts to increase competition in the New York metro area," said John Kirby, Alaska Airlines’ vice president of capacity planning.
"Since 2015, Alaska has launched 28 new routes from our West Coast hubs and focus cities. With our new expanded service to Newark, we continue to grow our West Coast footprint by offering our valued customers more nonstop flights to popular business and leisure destinations."
The newly-added Newark service will be the only daytime nonstop from Portland to the Garden State.
The new San Jose-Newark service will be the first nonstop flight between the two cities.
