Southwest Airlines latest carrier to announce flights from Paine Field

Friday, 26 Jan, 2018 0

Still not operational for several months, the Seattle area’s second airport has snagged yet another major airline.

Paine Field in Everett, WA has secured up to five daily flights from Southwest Airlines.

It comes a week after Alaska Airline committed to launching as many as 13 new routes from Paine Field, while United Airlines said it will start six new routes.

A two-gate terminal is currently under construction at the Snohomish County airport, and the first flights are expected to begin after the summer.

Paine Field is also home to Boeing’s main aircraft manufacturing plant and situated north of Seattle.

"Since Paine Field is the economic engine for our region, we will do all we can to make commercial service a success. We now have three airlines that will be serving our residents and helping to strengthen our economy. We look forward to a strong partnership with these airlines," Snohomish County executive Dave Somers said.

The airline is still to confirm destination details and timings but will use Boeing 737 aircraft on the routes.

"As a complement to our more than forty flights a day to 15 cities nonstop from Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, today we announce our commitment to launch up to five daily flights at a new commercial aircraft facility at Paine Field," Dallas based Southwest said in a statement.
