"POSSIBLE SERVICE TO POINTS IN ALASKA CONSIDERED AS PSA LOOKS TO SUMMER"

Pacific Southwest Airlines is considering service to destinations in Alaska, including Anchorage, as part of its summer expansion plan, company spokesman Bill Hastings said yesterday.

 

Hastings said a decision would be made in one or two weeks. He said the long-haul flights would take about 3 1/2 hours from the Pacific Northwest and four hours from most California cities.

 

Company officials currently are determining the airline’s summer schedules. Other cities under consideration include Albuquerque, Salt Lake City, South Lake Tahoe and Monterey.

 

The airline which has been steadily increasing its aircraft fleet, will take delivery of two additional aircraft this spring. The company’s next expansion will not be as large as the airline’s seven-city expansion last December, Hastings added.
