This will be the first nonstop connection between Jacksonville and Seattle. Alaska’s entry also makes it the airport’s 11th nonstop carrier.

The launch is part of a broader expansion in Seattle. Alaska plans to add Jacksonville, Charlotte, Norfolk and Des Moines to its domestic network, bringing its Seattle nonstop destinations to 119.

Darren Scott, Alaska’s managing director of network planning, said the route will make travel between the regions simpler. He said the airline was “thrilled to bring Alaska Airlines to Jacksonville and give travelers a simpler way to get between Northeast Florida and the Pacific Northwest.”

Mark VanLoh, CEO of the Jacksonville Aviation Authority, called Alaska the airport’s newest carrier. He said, “With Alaska's announcement today, JAX now has service from every major U.S. airline.”

Jacksonville has another new West Coast connection planned. United Airlines and the aviation authority expect their nonstop service to San Francisco to begin March 29, 2027, operating twice weekly.

Passengers in all three cabins can order meals in advance through the Alaska app, up to 14 days before departure. Atmos Rewards members can earn and redeem points on the route.

Alaska’s other new domestic Seattle routes to Charlotte and Norfolk are scheduled to begin June 10, 2027. Des Moines service starts on the same date as Jacksonville. Seasonal Seattle-Guadalajara flights are planned from March 18, 2027, through Aug. 9, 2027, three times weekly.
