Alaska Airlines is abandoning some seasonal flights to Mexico, including several nonstop round trips between Harry Reid International Airport and San Jose del Cabo and Puerto Vallarta.
The Seattle-based commercial air carrier – the sixth busiest operator at Reid – has not confirmed plans, but Irishon Aviation reported the cancellations based on published schedules and they were reported on the Simple Flying aviation news website.
Alaska did not respond to Review-Journal inquiries about the cancellations.
Alaska initially planned seasonal flights in late 2026 and spring 2027 and was planning to fly the routes on twin-engine Embraer 175 regional jets operated by SkyWest Airlines under the Alaska brand.
Alaska also is cancelling service to Mexico from Los Angeles International Airport and San Francisco International Airport.
The four routes would have added 16 weekly departures, extending Alaska’s seasonal leisure footprint across multiple West Coast gateways.
Alaska had planned daily service between Las Vegas and Mexican resort city Puerto Vallarta and several times a week to and from San Jose del Cabo.
Competitors will continue to serve those routes with Southwest Airlines offering twice weekly service to Puerto Vallarta and Southwest and Frontier Airlines flying routes to San Jose del Cabo.
Alaska also was offering connecting service to Mexico City, which will continue to be served directly from Las Vegas on Volaris, VivaAerobus and AeroMexico.
