What: Inaugural ceremonies to mark the beginning of Horizon Air's new nonstop service to Boise. Where: Sacramento International Airport, Gate 27 When: Monday, Feb. 4, 2002 from 1:00-2:00 p.m. Why: "This new service to Boise, coupled with the recent initiation of Palm Springs service, shows that Horizon Air recognizes the dynamic nature of Sacramento's air service market," noted Hardy Acree, director of airports for the Sacramento County Airport System. "We look forward to the ongoing success of Horizon at Sacramento International Airport." "The Sacramento-Boise nonstop service is one of our most frequently-requested new routes," said Patrick Zachwieja, Horizon Air vice president of marketing and planning. "We're delighted to be making travel between these two important cities easier for our customers." Flights: Sacramento-Boise flights will depart Sacramento at 6 a.m. every day except Sunday and at 2:15 p.m. daily. Boise-Sacramento flights will depart Boise at 1:10 p.m. daily and at 8:30 p.m. every day except Saturday. Etc: The 95-minute flights will cut in half the shortest air travel time currently available between Sacramento and Boise. Horizon Air is the only airline to offer nonstop service between the capitals of California and Idaho. The new service will be routed from Sacramento to Boise to Spokane and return twice daily, providing an additional benefit of new one-stop, same-plane service between Sacramento and Spokane. Sacramento-Boise flights will be operated with new, 70-seat Q400 high-speed turboprops. Horizon Air has served Sacramento since 1994 and currently offers nonstop jet service from Sacramento to Portland. Horizon recently announced new nonstop jet service to Palm Springs from Jan. 6 to April 28, 2002. Horizon's sister company, Alaska Airlines, offers nonstop jet service to Seattle.
