Southwest Airlines Offers More Flights From Palm Springs Airport

PALM SPRINGS, CA — Southwest Airlines is launching a new year-round nonstop service to San Jose from Palm Springs International Airport on Sunday.

With the start of this service, Southwest will fly to eight airports including Dallas Love, Denver, Las Vegas, Oakland, Phoenix, Portland, and Sacramento.

Dallas Love and Portland are offered seasonally, while all others operate year-round.

Southwest Airlines began service to Palm Springs two years ago in November 2022, and since
then they have quickly grown to become one of the largest airlines at PSP. Southwest now offers more year-round routes from Palm Springs than any other airline, which has helped to propel Palm Springs International Airport to new heights with 14 new passenger records set since June 2021.

Adam Decaire, Vice President of Network Planning for Southwest Airlines, spoke on the coming news on the eve of the airline's second anniversary at Palm Springs.

"We’ve already doubled the number of daily departures and we’ve more than doubled the number of places with a nonstop link to the Coachella Valley,” Decaire said. “The addition of a San Jose flight, alongside our daily Oakland service, brings even more access to the Bay Area on California’s favorite and largest carrier.”

Harry Barrett, Executive Director of Aviation for Palm Springs airport remarked on the relationship with Southwest Airlines.

“Since Southwest began service to PSP, we’ve set many new passenger records, we have more in-season and summer service than ever before, and we’ve seen summer passenger counts
grow to levels PSP has never had.”

Southwest joins Alaska Airlines as the second airline to offer service to San Jose from Palm
Springs.
