Alaska Airlines Files to Serve Loreto, Mexico in Partnership With Leading Developer Loreto Bay Company
Tuesday October 19, 7:44 pm ET
SEATTLE, Oct. 19 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --Alaska Airlines today announced it has applied for authority to provide nonstop service from Los Angeles to
Loreto, Mexico. The service will be supported by a marketing partnership with The Loreto Bay Company. The twice-weekly flights will begin February 17,
2005, pending U.S. Department of Transportation approval.

Located on the Sea of Cortez side of Mexico's Baja Peninsula about 150 miles north of La Paz, Loreto is one of five areas (the others being Cancun,
Cabo San Lucas, Huatulco and Ixtapa) identified by FONATUR, Mexico's tourist development agency, as prime tourism growth sites in Mexico. FONATUR
selected The Loreto Bay Company as the primary developer of the destination.
"We are pleased to be partnering with The Loreto Bay Company to develop air service to Loreto in conjunction with the resort's development," said
Gregg Saretsky, Alaska's executive vice president of marketing and planning. "Our customers will be able to enjoy the warmth and uniqueness of a
charming Mexico resort within same-day service from California, the Pacific Northwest, Alaska and western Canada."
Loreto is a seaside village sandwiched between the Sierra de la Giganta Mountains and the cobalt blue Sea of Cortez. Steeped in colonial history as
the site of Mexico's first mission, Loreto is renowned for its marina, fishing, water sports, pristine beaches and authentic cuisine.
The proposed flights will operate Sundays and Thursdays. They will depart Los Angeles at 11:10 a.m. and arrive in Loreto at 1:59 p.m. Return flights
will depart Loreto at 4:00 p.m. and arrive in Los Angeles at 4:55 p.m. Alaska plans to use MD-80 series aircraft on the route -- seating 12 in first
class and 128 in the main cabin.
Loreto will be Alaska Airlines' eighth destination in Mexico. Alaska currently serves Mazatlan, Puerto Vallarta, Los Cabos, Ixtapa/Zihuatanejo,
Manzanillo/Costa Alegre, Cancun and Guadalajara. Alaska Airlines Vacations plans to offer a complete range of vacation packages to Loreto.
Alaska and its sister carrier, Horizon Air, together serve more than 80 cities in Alaska, the Lower 48, Canada and Mexico. Upon government approval,
reservations and vacations to Loreto may be found at www.alaskaair.com. For more news and information, visit the Alaska Airlines Newsroom on the Internet at http://newsroom.alaskaair.com .
GREAT!

Loreto Bay flew the last group in and out of here on Alaska, and I'm noticing Alaska ground support here like before Aero Mexico started regular
service. I like the arrival and departure times, especially the 4pm departure that will allow a full day of fishing, but I would have liked to see
them come in from another less busy airport like PHX.

Pam - any Whale sharks there now?
I'm headed down in a week for a SCUBA trip and hope to get some nice shots of them.
