The EGE Air Alliance in partnership with Eagle County Regional Airport is thrilled to announce the introduction of new non-stop air service connecting Seattle and San Diego to the Eagle County Regional Airport (EGE) for the upcoming winter 2024-25 season on Alaska Airlines. This exciting development will provide greater convenience and accessibility for travelers looking to enjoy the world-class skiing, snowboarding, and winter activities that the Vail Valley has to offer and will bring Eagle County’s first low-cost carrier to increase West Coast access for locals.
Starting December 20, 2024, the new routes will be operated by Alaska Airlines, offering 3x per week flights from Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA) and San Diego International Airport (SAN) to EGE. These new services will significantly enhance the travel experience for winter sports enthusiasts and visitors to the Vail Valley, reducing travel time and increasing ease of access to the Vail and Beaver Creek.
“We are delighted to expand our air service offerings and provide more travel options for our visitors,” said Peter Dann, chairperson of the EGE Air Alliance. “These new routes from Seattle and San Diego reflect our commitment to enhancing the connectivity of the Vail Valley and supporting the local tourism economy. We look forward to welcoming more travelers to our beautiful region and providing them with an exceptional travel experience, and increasing opportunities for locals to travel to West Coast destinations.”
The new service is expected to have a positive impact on the local economy, boosting tourism and creating new opportunities for businesses in the Vail Valley. With the addition of these flights, travelers from the Pacific Northwest and Southern California can now enjoy seamless access to the region’s renowned ski resorts, including Vail, Beaver Creek, and other popular destinations.
“We are thrilled to announce our new partnership with Alaska Airlines and extend a warm welcome to them at EGE. The upcoming winter routes to Seattle and San Diego mark a significant milestone for Eagle County and its neighboring communities. These expanded travel opportunities will directly link residents and visitors to previously unavailable non-stop destinations, opening up a world of connections and possibilities.
