Of the sectors inaugurated by the carrier this week, four of them will face direct competition from Southwest Airlines, while the link from San Diego to Austin (AUS) will also face Frontier Airlines which offers three weekly flights on the route. The average sector length of Alaska Airlines’ new airport pairs is 2,133 kilometres.
