Sea-Tac’s Alaska Airlines hasn’t yet canceled any flights because of activity at two Alaska volcanoes, the Sea-Tac-based airline said today.
But a regional Alaska airline, Pen Air, which operates flights from Anchorage to Dutch Harbor for Alaska, canceled six flights Monday and two flights Tuesday because of eruptions from Mount Pavlof near Cold Bay, Alaska. That mountain as well as Mount Cleveland located west of Dutch Harbor have been spewing ash this week.
Both Alaska Airlines and Pen Air said today they’re closing monitoring eruption information. Service to Bethel, Adak and Dutch Harbor could be affected by further eruptions.
