Seattle's Second Airport is Oh-So-Close to Taking Off
By Mary Forgione/ Travel/ Los Angeles Times/ latimes.com

"Paine Field is almost ready to take off. Poised to become Seattle’s second airport, the site passed a final FAA hurdle Wednesday on its way to start passenger flights in March, a first since the site was built in 1936.

The process had been delayed during the partial government shutdown that ended in January. Three procedural steps still need to be completed before the airport can start operating, but more on that later.

Seattle Business magazine described the new airport in Everett, Wash., as a “604-acre, fog-free unpopulated site 23 miles north of Seattle.”

Alaska Airlines plans to start flying March 4, and United Airlines on March 31. The airport will host 24 daily flights to nine destinations, including Los Angeles, Orange County, San Diego, San Francisco and San Jose in California. (Kayak.com showed LAX round-trip flights March 6-8 for $245 on Alaska.)....."

It will hurt Alaska Airlines hub and spoke system. For example, if I am flying from Houston to Anchorage on Alaska Air, the Houston flight lands at Paine and the Anchorage flight departs SeaTac. I can see them running shuttle busses or is there a train? Whatever the transfer solution, it will cause additional delay and problems. Unfortunately, I can see management at AK Air thinking this is great because now they can move more flights.
