Alaska Airlines to begin mainline A319/A320 service to Bozeman Yellowstone International Airport beginning May 2020

BOZEMAN YELLOWSTONE INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT

BOZEMAN — Alaska Airline’s regional affiliate Horizon Air began service to Bozeman Yellowstone Int’l Airport (BZN) with 19-passenger Swearingen Metro aircraft in 1990 with service to Spokane and Billings. In 1994, Horizon Air began the airline’s first non-stop service from Montana to Seattle/Tacoma (SEA) using 69-seat Fokker F28 aircraft with seasonal service between BZN and SEA.  Over the next several years, Horizon continued to develop non-stop service from all of their Montana markets to SEA.  Horizon began replacing the F28 aircraft with the new and efficient 76-seat Bombardier Q400 aircraft in 2001 between BZN and SEA.  In 2016, the Q400s were augmented with 76-seat Embraer 175 aircraft.  After three decades of developing the BZN-SEA market, on May 21, 2020, Alaska will begin operating two of their four daily flights to Seattle/Tacoma with mainline Airbus aircraft.  The two additional daily departures to SEA and Alaska’s daily departures to Portland, Oregon will continue to operate with 76-seat Q400 aircraft operated by Horizon Air.
