Thread: DL Fishes into Alaska again with JNU Service

Maybe NOT !
Juneau is the state capitol of Alaska - recalculate recalculate ! ! !
And then again maybe a push comes to shove move for Alaska Airlines to accept a partnership merger alliance or something else.
I think there is more here other than to feed the Asian market from a HUB at Seattle.

In the late 60's Western bought Pacific Northern Airlines and eventually relinquished service to Ketchikan; Juneau; Yakutat; Cordova;
Homer; Kenai; King Salmon and Kodiak Island leaving Seattle and Anchorage for Delta to market. Western did fly from Anchorage to
Honolulu briefly but this was an extremely finicky route - seasonal at best. Most of these small city/markets were absorbed by Alaska
Airlines. After the oil boom leveled off the Alaskan market took another turn saved by the summer cruise ship traffic adding Fairbanks
to the market.

Anyone's guess - throwing darts - something is afoot - time will tell ! Adding a state capitol can not be all bad !
