Fresno, CA – In a move that’s sure to delight travelers, Alaska Airlines has kicked off its seasonal non-stop service from Fresno to Guadalajara, Mexico. This new route is set to cater to the surge in demand during the winter months and marks an exciting development for international air travel out of Fresno Yosemite International Airport.
“We’re thrilled to see Alaska Airlines join the existing carriers that serve this vital route,” said Mayor Jerry Dyer, highlighting the importance of this service for families and friends looking to connect over the holidays. “This addition is a testament to the progress we’ve made at our airport, including the ongoing terminal expansion.”
Fresno’s strategic location has earned it a spot as one of the top cities in the US for passenger traffic heading to Guadalajara, with 2022 seeing the City of Fresno and its Mexican counterpart officially become sister cities. Alaska Airlines’ entry into this market is expected to boost tourist numbers even further.
As the first domestic carrier from Fresno to offer international air service, Alaska’s new route complements its existing daily non-stop flights to Seattle, Portland, and San Diego. “Fresno Yosemite International Airport is grateful for Alaska Airlines’ continued commitment to our community,” said Director of Aviation Henry Thompson, confident that this seasonal service will be a resounding success.
Guadalajara, one of Mexico’s largest metropolitan cities, promises an immersive cultural experience with its rich heritage and vibrant celebrations. The additional airline option from Fresno to Guadalajara increases exposure to these festivities and offers travelers more flexibility in planning their trips.
For those eager to take advantage of this new route, tickets, flight schedules, and bookings are available on alaskaair.com. Departures from Fresno to Guadalajara occur daily at 11:35 p.m., with arrival times at 5 a.m., while return flights from Guadalajara to Fresno depart at 8:52 p.m. and land at 10:56 p.m.
