(Los Angeles, CA) Beginning today, United Airlines will offer two daily departures from its hub at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) to Stockton Metropolitan Airport (SCK).
“For the first time in nearly 30 years, Angelenos can fly non-stop to Stockton," said Deborah Flint, Chief Executive Officer, Los Angeles World Airports. “Thanks to this new route, we are more connected than ever to the Central Valley, making for a trip for fun, family or business just a short plane ride away."
"There is no doubt that Stockton is seeing great expansion and as the airline that connects California, I am proud to see United create more economic development to the Central Valley,” said Janet Lamkin, United California President and a Stockton native. “In connecting Stockton to Los Angeles, not only do we connect Stocktonians to the nation’s second largest city, but we also open one stop connection to nearly 70 destinations around the world that we serve from LAX.”
At today's event Stockton-native and Get Caked L.A. Pancake Artist Jasmine Rezonable was cooking specially designed pancakes for airport guests. Powercat, the University of the Pacific's mascot, was also onsite at LAX, greeting airport guests before boarding the first flight from LAX to SCK.
SkyWest Airlines, one of United's Express partners, will operate the flight twice-daily as follows (all times local):

LAX, the sixth-busiest airport in the world serving nearly 66 million guests in 2022, is owned and operated by Los Angeles World Airports (LAWA), a proprietary, revenue-generating department of the City of Los Angeles that also governs Van Nuys Airport (VNY). As the international gateway to the Southern California region, LAX and its partners are dedicated to meeting global airport standards for customer satisfaction, safety, regional economic leadership, organizational performance and sustainability.
To better serve the millions of domestic and international guests that travel through LAX each year, the airport is undergoing a multi-billion-dollar capital improvement program to modernize its entire campus. Initiatives underway include an Automated People Mover, a Consolidated Rental Car Facility and two projects that will each add over one million square feet to the airport's existing property: Terminal 9 and Concourse 0.
