US: Anchorage airport expects summer passenger increase
Alaska's largest airport is expecting a big increase in passenger capacity during the summer tourist season. Officials at Ted Stevens Anchorage International are looking forward to a "significant increase" in summer 2019 passenger capacity as more tourists visit Alaska. The projected 6% growth in seat capacity equals an additional 68,000 passenger seats on flights to Anchorage compared to last year. They said that increase is on top of a 4.5% increase last summer. Alaska Airlines should increase passenger capacity between Anchorage and Seattle, while Allegiant is expected to add service between Anchorage and Bellingham, Washington. United Airlines anticipates more flights from New York, and Air Canada will likely increase flight frequency between Anchorage and Vancouver, airport officials said. <br/>
