BOZEMAN,
MT (December 23, 2019). 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.
