About 17% of Alaska Airlines’ flights have been canceled across the U.S. as of Friday afternoon, according to flight-data provider FlightAware, along with 11% for Horizon Air, an Alaska subsidiary. Alaska expected additional disruptions as aircraft and crew were repositioned throughout its network.

The new route arrives months before the opening of a replacement passenger terminal at Hollywood Burbank Airport in026.
