SAN LUIS OBISPO, CA — The SLO County Airport (SBP) is excited to share upcoming enhancements to its air service.

Effective March 14, 2024, as part of its commitment to providing convenient and efficient travel options for passengers, Alaska Airlines will resume direct flights to Portland International Airport (PDX) and add a second daily flight to Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA).

Beginning March 31, 2024, United Airlines will commence a second daily direct flight to Los Angeles International Airport (LAX). This addition to the airport’s air service portfolio further strengthens its connectivity to key destinations and underscores its role as a vital transportation hub for the Central Coast region.

Additionally, commencing May 7, 2024, passengers traveling from SBP will enjoy increased accessibility to Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport (DFW) with the introduction of a second daily flight operated by American Airlines. This new route provides travelers with more flexibility and convenience when planning their journeys to one of the nation’s major aviation hubs.

However, it’s important to note that the seasonal air service to Las Vegas, which commenced as a test run by Alaska Airlines to gauge the popularity of the route, will conclude on April 15, 2024. The airlines will assess the performance of the route to determine future service opportunities.

The increased flight frequencies to Los Angeles, Dallas/Fort Worth, and San Diego reflect the both the airlines confidence in SBP and the airport’s commitment to providing passengers with a diverse range of travel options.

“SBP is ecstatic to announce that the Portland flight is back as it is extremely popular with residents of our region. Additional flights to Seattle, Los Angeles, Dallas/Fort Worth, and San Diego are icing on the cake,” said Courtney Johnson, Director of Airports. “These developments underscore our dedication to enhancing the travel experience for our community and visitors, and we look forward to continuing to serve as a gateway to the Central Coast region.”
