A strong region depends on more than infrastructure and economic growth. It also depends on businesses that invest in the communities where they operate.
That commitment is visible in San Diego, where Alaska Airlines continues to expand its presence while investing in the region beyond air travel.
Alaska currently serves 49 nonstop destinations from San Diego International Airport and operates more than 100 daily departures. Its local investment also includes creating jobs and plans for a new Alaska Lounge at the airport.
Alaska Airlines recently unveiled plans for its expanded lounge presence at San Diego International Airport, reinforcing its long-term commitment to the region.
Investing in the Community
Alaska’s commitment extends beyond its operations.
The airline partners with organizations across San Diego to support military families, veterans, students and nonprofit organizations. Its community partnerships include OneSD, San Diego State University, Rady Children’s Health, Neighborhood House Association, Junior Achievement and the YMCA.
These investments reflect the many ways businesses can contribute to the strength of a region — by creating jobs, supporting local institutions and helping community organizations expand their impact.
Community investment can extend beyond a company’s core business to strengthen the people and organizations that make a region thrive.
