Alaska Airlines To End Seasonal Service Between Los Angeles & Fort Lauderdale 4 Months Early

The move represents a loss of more than 42,000 seats that were originally scheduled.

The aircraft types will join Boeing 737 variants and the 757-300 between the two destinations.

The carrier will offer up a challenge to Southwest Airlines, which dominates the route.

The Atlanta-based carrier has decided to pick up the slack, which appears to be met with much fanfare.

The carrier touted its unique flight network and modern fleet as factors to its performance.

Despite the excitement surrounding the opening, some travelers are calling on the airport to develop a tram to shorten post-security transit time.

The changes will occur after the holiday season and last until demand ramps back up in the Spring.

The move, which replaces the Airbus A321neo, represents a premium upgrade and will boost capacity.

The airline has apologized to the affected passengers for its adjustment.

The aircraft has only visited the airport once.
