This is the first time that the Portland Jetport will offer direct flights to these west coast destinations, providing convenience and accessibility for travelers. Paul Bradbury, the airport director, expressed excitement about the new development in a news release on Thursday.

Zach Sundquist, the assistant airport director, also shared his thoughts on the announcement, stating that the addition of Los Angeles and San Francisco to their route network will connect them to two of their top unserved markets. He also emphasized the convenience of having easy access to and from the west coast during the peak tourism season.
United Airlines has yet to respond to inquiries about the new service.
