Alaska Airlines has filed applications to begin two nonstop Boeing 737 services from Orange County, California, to Los Cabos and Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. The flights are pending approval by the US Department of Transportation and the Mexico’s Directorate General of Civil Aeronautics (DGAC).

The planned year-round service will operate 3X-weekly between Orange County and Puerto Vallarta and 4X-weekly between Orange County and Los Cabos.

Alaska Airlines began flying to Puerto Vallarta and Los Cabos more than 25 years ago. Currently, the carrier operates 36 weekly peak-season flights to Puerto Vallarta and 50 weekly peak-season flights to Los Cabos.
