Alaska Airlines Announces New Nonstop Domestic Service Between Austin and Anchorage
AUSTIN, Texas – Today, Alaska Airlines announced a brand-new domestic destination, and a first-ever, for Austin-Bergstrom International Airport (AUS) with service to Anchorage, Alaska (ANC). This milestone marks the latest domestic expansion for the airport, establishing the only nonstop connection between Central Texas and the state of Alaska.
Beginning June 12, 2027, the new seasonal AUS–ANC service will operate once weekly on Saturdays through August 7, 2027, aboard a Boeing 737.
“We are proud to welcome Alaska Airlines’ new service to Anchorage, marking the first-ever nonstop connection between Austin-Bergstrom International Airport and Anchorage, Alaska (ANC),” said Ghizlane Badawi, Chief Executive Officer of Austin-Bergstrom International Airport. “Bringing a new state into the AUS nonstop network is a meaningful milestone for our airport and our region. This route gives Central Texas travelers a direct connection to Anchorage and the incredible experiences that await in Alaska, while creating new opportunities for tourism, business and stronger connections between our communities. It also reflects the strength of our partnership with Alaska Airlines and the continued growth of AUS as a gateway connecting Central Texas to more destinations across the country and around the world.”
“Our ambitions are global, but our foundation remains the same. From the beginning, Alaska Airlines has connected communities across Alaska, the West Coast and beyond,” said Marilyn Romano, Regional Vice President of Alaska Airlines. "From Anchorage to destinations around the globe, we’re building on that legacy and giving our guests more ways to explore with Alaska Airlines.”
Anchorage, Alaska’s largest city, blends urban amenities with natural landscapes, abundant wildlife and outdoor adventure. As a gateway to the Kenai Peninsula, Alaska’s state and national parks, world-class fishing, hiking, wildlife viewing and Denali, Anchorage gives Central Texas travelers convenient access to many of the state’s most iconic experiences. The new seasonal nonstop service makes it easier to explore the Last Frontier, from Alaska’s southern coast to Denali.
