SEATTLE, May 20, 2021 /PRNewswire/ As travelers take to the skies again, Alaska Airlines is ready to provide its guests with a brand-new destination: Cincinnati. Daily nonstop service between Seattle and Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport (CVG) starts today, May 20. The pandemic delayed the original start of service of Aug. 18, 2020.
Alaska now flies nonstop between Seattle and Cincinnati.
The new route connects two dynamic regions of the country, each with thriving technology and business centers. The service also makes it convenient for guests flying from Cincinnati – known as the Queen City or Queen City of the West – to connect to dozens of destinations across the West Coast from Alaska s hub in Seattle.

With U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) decision to extend its
“Conditional Sailing” Order, the state’s already fragile tourism industry remains under distress. The
Alaska Travel Industry Association (ATIA) said in statement at the end of last week that it was “thrilled” to see Alaska Governor
Mike Dunleavy sign
U.S. Congress to exempt cruise ships from the
Passenger Vessel Services Act (PVSA) for the period during which Canadian ports are closed to cruise ships carrying more than 100 people.
“The tourism industry has pulled together like never before to make the most of the upcoming summer without large ship cruises, but there is just no way to replace more than a million travelers and the economic support those visitors bring to so many travel and tourism small businesses,” said ATIA president and CEO

One full season without cruise ships dealt a huge blow to the tourism-dependent businesses of southeast Alaska. A second one could be fatal. The survival of our communities is really on the line right now, she said.
Like most operators in southeast Alaska, the vast majority 90% of guests on Taku Lodge flightseeing tours are cruise passengers. The company survived a 2020 closure through a combination of federal and local support and relief from landlords and even aviation insurance companies. Everybody s given to make sure that we can get through, Johnson said. We ve been able to squeak by, but it s really scary looking at another summer, and not just another summer but getting through until April 22 .. We re on a shoestring now to hold it together.
