SEATTLE, Wash.
- Alaska Airlines today launched its second Hawaii market from San Diego with a new daily nonstop flight to Honolulu, on the island of Oahu. The service complements the airline's existing daily nonstop flight between San Diego and Kahului, Maui, which started in October 2010.

"With its beautiful beaches, historic sites and endless sunshine, Honolulu is a great complement to our existing San Diego-Maui nonstop service," said Joe Sprague, Alaska Airlines' vice president of marketing. "Our Southern California customers will enjoy our low fares, award-winning service and being able to earn Mileage Plan miles whether they're booking a flight or a complete vacation package to the beautiful islands of Hawaii."
