Alaska Airlines says recent flight cancellations were caused by training delays during the omicron surge, which led to a shortage of new pilots who were ready to fly.
The airline says it will reduce about 2% of its total flights through the end of June. In an email, an Alaska Airlines spokesperson wrote that the airline typically flies 1,200 flights per day.
On April 1, Alaska Airlines pilots picketed airports along the West Coast, calling for an end to ongoing contract negotiations. In Anchorage, more than 100 pilots picketed at Ted Stevens International Airport. Alaska Airlines released a statement outlining their proposed contract and apologizing to customers for canceling more than 120 flights that day.
Scott McMurren is a travel writer based in Anchorage. He said a 2% reduction in flights won’t hit Alaskan travelers hard, but a strike could.
