“This new direct destination will provide benefits to our entire community,” said Kelowna Mayor Tom Dyas. “From improving the ability for more tourists to access all the Okanagan has to offer like world-class skiing and rich cultural experiences, to providing our residents a link to L.A. and connecting destinations.”
Alaska Airlines also provides seasonal service from Kelowna to Seattle, which is expected to return this fall.
