While much of the travel scrutiny fell upon Southwest Airlines this holiday travel season, passengers in the Pacific Northwest faced similar issues with Alaska Airlines.
With demolition of the old passenger terminal nearly complete and Phase 2 construction set to begin, Missoula Montana Airport plans to jump ahead and seek bids for Phase 3.
Overall, the airlines have roughly 9% more seats in the local market than they did in September 2019 – a record year for the airport and one that predates the opening of the new passenger terminal.
