United Airlines Thursday announced it will begin nonstop service between Paine Field/Snohomish County Airport and its hubs in Denver and San Francisco beginning March 31.

Based on pending government approval, United will operate two daily flights from Denver and four daily flights from San Francisco.

Alaska Airlines announced its Paine Field flight schedule earlier this month. Southwest Airlines was scheduled to fly out of Paine Field, but canceled those plans in mid-November. Instead Southwest has “entered into an agreement with Alaska Airlines to transfer the carrier’s slot access” there, USA Today reported.

All United flights serving Paine Field are expected to be on Embraer 175 jets, the same plane that Alaska Airlines will use.

“We are excited to offer our Seattle and Northwest Washington area travelers new opportunities to easily access our hubs in Denver and San Francisco,” said Ankit Gupta, United’s vice president of Domestic Network Planning. “With United’s six daily flights from Paine Field beginning this spring, our new service will conveniently connect customers from the northern Seattle, Snohomish and northern King County areas to the world’s largest business and leisure destinations with just one stop.”

  1. Can we get them to add flights to SeaTac? It would be faster than battling traffic, and probably cheaper than SeaTac parking.

    1. Most likely not cost effective route for any airline to go from Everett to SeaTac for the amount of time in the air.

  2. The E175 is a great plane. I flew on these of to Santa Barbara a lot last year. DFW would be a great connection if there’s legs for that.

  3. Hey! Will there be a schedule from Paine Field or it one way only?
    What will the do with the planes that arrive but don’t leave?
