Alaska Airlines decreasing flights by 70% for April, May during COVID-19 crisis
As the demand for air travel plummets, Alaska Airlines says it will slash its number of flights dramatically for April and May while the country battles the coronavirus. The slowdown will translate to about a 70% reduction in its schedule throughout its network. The airline, which announced a 10% reduction earlier this month, averages 1,300 daily flights. The projected cuts will reduce Alaska Airlines' daily flights to about 400. Flights to Hawaii, which has a mandatory 14-day self-isolation quarantine in place for all travellers entering the state, will have an even greater reduction of service, the company said. The airline plans to eliminate nearly all "red-eye" overnight flights as well as routes with the lowest passenger demand. <br/>
