Strengthening Long-term Partnerships

"Alaska Airlines has been a valuable partner of YLW's for more than 28 years, and we are excited to see the continued growth of direct international destinations provided by the airline," said Geoff Ritchie, Director of Commercial and Air Service at Kelowna International Airport. "It has been over a decade since we had direct service to LAX, so we are thrilled Alaska Airlines is bringing back this integral route for the Okanagan community."

The reintroduction of this route underscores the strong partnership between YLW and Alaska Airlines. It reflects a shared commitment to enhancing travel options for residents and visitors, fostering economic growth, and improving the overall travel experience.
