On Thursday (October 28, 2021), Alaska airlines announced the launch of new daily roundtrip service between Seattle and Cleveland starting June 16, 2022, complementing existing service to Columbus and Cincinnati. On the same date, Alaska will add a second daily flight between Seattle and both Columbus and Cincinnati. For summer 2022, Alaska Airlines will be the only carrier connecting all three major Ohio cities with nonstop service to the West Coast, offering guests seamless one-stop connections via Seattle to other West Coast cities, Hawaii and Mexico.
In Thursday’s announcement, Alaska Airlines’ Vice President of Network and Alliances, Brett Catlin, said,
“Ohio is an economic powerhouse with a vibrant cultural and corporate scene that's underserved and primed for growth as we emerge from the pandemic. Adding Cleveland to our network furthers our investment in the Buckeye State while adding an important nonstop link between Northeast Ohio and the Puget Sound.”
Also commenting on the new Seattle-Cleveland service, Cleveland Hopkins International Airport’s Director, Robert Kennedy, added,
“Cleveland Hopkins International Airport is delighted to welcome Alaska Airlines to the city of Rock and Roll. They will provide nonstop service to Seattle, our top unserved destination.

Visitors to Cleveland can enjoy many attractions and cultural experiences including the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, the Cleveland Orchestra, the Greater Cleveland Aquarium and the nearby Cedar Point amusement park on the shores of Lake Erie. Alaska Airlines has served Ohio since March of 2019, with their inaugural service from Seattle to Columbus. In May 2021, the carrier also launched service between Seattle and Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport.
