Alaska Airlines will soon offer flights from Portland International Airport to Houston's George Bush Intercontinental Airport. Here’s what to know.

Alaska Airlines is launching a new nonstop flight from Portland to Houston starting May 15, 2025, as well as resuming flights between Portland and Eugene and adding a new route between San Diego and Medford.

The 11-year-old startup Lytics was acquired by Contentstack, an Austin-and-San Francisco-based company that works in digital experiences.

Lytics, a Portland company that raised $58 million to develop technology for corporate marketing, said Wednesday it has sold to a Texas business called Contentstack. The companies didn’t disclose terms of their transaction except to say it’s a cash and stock deal.

Portland International Airport (PDX) serves as a hub for Seattle-based Alaska, which operates around 100 daily flights to 58 destinations from the airport. From May 15, the carrier will launch daily Boeing 737 flights between PDX and Houston Bush Intercontinental Airport (IAH).

According to Oregon and California’s fire departments, trucks were stopped in Davis, California, just outside Sacramento, for maintenance and safety checks, and those trucks continued onward. Photos and news coverage confirm that trucks from other states were assisting firefighters in Los Angeles.

Alaska Airlines will operate nonstop flights between Portland and Houston daily and twice-daily flights to Eugene.

Alaska Airlines will initiate a route for Portland residents to travel to the fourth-largest city in the nation this year. A new daily, nonstop flight between Portland International Airport and George Bush Intercontinental Airport in Houston will be starting May 15.

Alaska Airlines on May 15 will begin daily service between Houston Bush Intercontinental and Portland, Oregon. Alaska's Boeing 737 service will compete against United, which flies the route two or three times daily. Houston is currently Alaska's largest unserved U.S. city from its Portland base.
