SACRAMENTO REGION, CA (MPG) - Beginning June 14, Sacramento International Airport (SMF) will offer a new seasonal nonstop flight to Anchorage, Alaska with Alaska Airlines. This marks the first-ever nonstop service from Sacramento to the State of Alaska in the airport’s history.

Perfect for a summer vacation, Anchorage offers a wide range of exciting activities, from breathtaking cruises to wildlife viewing, hiking and exploring the majestic landscapes that make Alaska so special. Whether you're an adventure-seeker or simply looking to relax in nature's beauty, Anchorage has something for everyone.

“We’re thrilled to partner with Alaska Airlines to announce Anchorage as our newest nonstop destination from SMF,” said Stephen Clark, C.M., deputy director of Airport Commercial Development at the Sacramento County Department of Airports. “This new route reflects the strong partnerships we’ve built to deliver travel options that balance the needs of our business community and the growing demand for family-friendly and leisure destinations. It’s another step in our commitment to serving our region with convenient and exciting travel opportunities.”

The new nonstop service to Anchorage comes on the heels of Alaska Airlines starting four new flights, including the launch of new nonstop service to Orlando, Cabo San Lucas, Mexico and Tucson, Arizona. Additionally, this past Saturday, Alaska Airlines began nonstop services from Sacramento International Airport to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico.

​This new flight is just one of many recent additions as Sacramento International Airport continues to grow and enhance its offerings. By July, Sacramento International Airport expects more than 196 daily nonstop flights on 12 domestic and international carriers, connecting travelers to 36 destinations across the globe.
