Alaska Airlines is adding summer seasonal service from Portland and Missoula, Mont., starting June 5, 2011. The new flights are in addition to the carrier's two daily flights to Billings and three daily flights to Missoula from Seattle. The flights will be operated for Alaska by Horizon Air using 76-seat Bombardier Q400s.
"These nonstop flights between Portland and two of Montana's largest cities will provide customers with convenient connections to Alaska Airlines' hubs and easy access to our route network," said Joe Sprague, the airline's vice president of marketing.
