The first Alaska Airlines passenger flight on a Boeing 737-9 Max airplane takes off on a flight to San Diego from Seattle-Tacoma International Airport in Seattle on March 1, 2021.

San Diego International's most prolific carrier has added another route, this time to Medford, Oregon, it was announced Tuesday.

Alaska Airlines will begin a daily nonstop flight to Medford through Rogue Valley International-Medford Airport starting May 15.

"We are pleased that Alaska Airlines is continuing to grow its service from San Diego and offer new options to many destinations on the west coast, across the country, and internationally," said Kimberly Becker, San Diego County Regional Airport Authority president and CEO. "This new nonstop service to Medford offers Southern Californians direct access to this Pacific Northwest city known for its picturesque Rogue Valley and close proximity to world-renowned Crater Lake National Park, while providing easy access for Oregonians to San Diego's year-round warm climate and miles of coastline."
