FRESNO, Calif. (FOX26) — On Tuesday, Alaska Airlines launched seasonal non-stop service from Fresno to Guadalajara, Mexico.
This winter, Alaska Airlines will offer daily service between Fresno Yosemite International Airport (FAT) and Guadalajara (GDL) now through February 12, 2025.
Alaska Airlines joins the existing international carriers that serve the Guadalajara route from Fresno and comes just in time for the busy winter travel period when additional service is needed.
“Alaska Airlines’ new seasonal service to Guadalajara adds a much-needed nonstop connection between Fresno and Mexico during the busy winter months,” said Fresno City Mayor Jerry Dyer. “This exciting addition brings families and friends closer for the holidays while showcasing the progress at Fresno Yosemite International Airport, including the ongoing terminal expansion. We’re looking forward to even more growth in the year ahead.”
In 2022, the City of Fresno and Guadalajara officially became Sister Cities.

Fresno continues to rank 4th in the nation in terms of the number of passengers flying from the United States to Guadalajara.
Alaska Airlines is the first domestic carrier operating in Fresno to offer international air service and complements the airline’s daily non-stop flights from Fresno to Seattle, Portland, and San Diego.
“Fresno Yosemite International Airport appreciates Alaska Airlines for their continued commitment to Fresno and are confident this seasonal service will be a great success,” said Director of Aviation Henry Thompson.
Guadalajara is one of Mexico’s largest metropolitan cities and is Jalisco’s state capital.
