With 14 year-round destinations, PSP's air service options reach new heights
Palm Springs, CA — Travelers looking to escape the Coachella Valley’s summer heat to the Pacific Northwest now have even more options, as Alaska Airlines transitions its popular Palm Springs (PSP)–Portland (PDX) route from seasonal to year-round service, continuing through the summer for the first time ever.
Previously scheduled to end for the season in June, the route will now operate nonstop flights throughout the year, marking another milestone in PSP’s ongoing expansion of year-round air service. With this addition, PSP now offers 14 year-round routes on 9 airlines—more than ever before.
“This is a big win for Palm Springs and the entire Coachella Valley,” said PSP Executive Director Harry Barrett, Jr. “The demand for year-round connectivity keeps growing, and Alaska’s decision to extend this route is a testament to that. More full-time options mean greater convenience for travelers and another step forward in making PSP a truly year-round gateway. With one-stop access from PSP to more than 300 global destinations, we continue to expand our reach like never before.”
