Alaska Airlines is cutting its growth plans at Dallas Love Field after losing patience over the long-running legal dispute over ownership of gates at the airport.
The airline will end flights to San Diego and San Jose after November 5 and reverse original plans to expand to up to 20 flights daily from the city-owned airport.
It will keep its current level of 13 daily flights, it said.
"With the current litigation surrounding gates and the uncertainty of future gate access, we have made the business decision to pause on those growth plans," an Alaska Airlines statement said.
The carrier has been caught up in the middle of an ongoing legal fight for slots predominantly between Southwest airlines and Delta.
The two carriers have been fighting over gates for several years following the repeal of the Wright Amendment.
That allowed out of state travel from Dallas’ second airport for the first time in 2014, which sparked a succession of legal challenges between the airlines and airport itself, which is still far from reaching a resolution.
Alaska Airlines will shift the San Diego and San Jose flights to Portland and Seattle.
