Alaska Airlines has announced that they will be expanding their service routes to the neighbor islands, and will be beginning a daily service between San Diego and Kauai in 2013. Currently, the airlines offers nonstop service to Kauai from Oakland, California; Portland, Oregon; Seattle, Washington; and San Jose, California. Kauai Mayor Bernard Carvalho Jr. stated, “Our economy is seeing more signs of improvement, and this move by Alaska indicates confidence in Kauai as a visitor destination.”
According to the Hawaii Tourism Authority, this new route to San Diego would generate $41 million in visitor spending and $4.5 million in tax revenue for the state. Chief Executive Officer for the HTA, Mike McCartney, stated, “Alaska Airlines has been a great partner in expanding air service to all four of the major Hawaiian Islands from the U.S. mainland.”
