Delta Air Lines has announced the launch of a second daily nonstop flight from Spokane International Airport to Los Angeles International Airport (LAX), beginning on Sept. 14. Delta will also be offering additional services from Spokane to Seattle.

“We are grateful to Delta Air Lines for their additional investment in Spokane,” said Spokane Airport Board Chair Ezra Eckhardt. “The LA Basin is the largest underserved market from the Spokane/Coeur d’Alene region and this additional nonstop flight from Delta Air Lines to LAX increases efficiencies for area business and leisure travelers by offering a well-timed schedule and additional seat capacity to Southern California.”

Larry Krauter, CEO of Spokane International Airport, said he was pleased that Delta Air Lines is responding to the demand for additional nonstop service to Los Angeles.

“In addition to the important connectivity between Spokane/Coeur d’Alene and Los Angeles, the service also connects well into the Delta Air Lines network to several prominent domestic and international destinations which helps to extend the global reach of our regional economy,” he said in a press release.

Delta Air Lines currently operates one daily nonstop flight from Spokane to Los Angeles. The new flight, like the first, will be served with a 76-seat Embraer E75 jet.

In 2019, Spokane International Airport handled a record 4,112,784 passengers.
