Service on four new nonstop domestic routes began this month, with two more to come by the end of the summer, San Diego International Airport officials said Tuesday.

The new direct flights by Alaska and Southwest airlines include three California destinations, along with service to Dallas/Fort Worth and Raleigh/Durham, North Carolina. Flights to Boston are set to follow.

    The new nonstops began on April 7, when Southwest Airlines added service to Santa Rosa. On April 22, Alaska Airlines began nonstops from San Diego to Oakland, Dallas/Fort Worth and Raleigh-Durham and also resumed nonstops to Santa Barbara after a three-year hiatus.

    Southwest is set to add a direct flight to Boston on June 4 and one to Santa Barbara two months later.

    Airport officials also announced the seasonal return of domestic routes and expanded availability of international routes:

    The returning domestic routes, all set for May and June, are:

    May 6 – Jacksonville, Florida and Norfolk, Virginia (Breeze Airways) May 7 – Cincinnati and Raleigh-Durham (Breeze) May 8 – Pittsburgh (Breeze) May 16 – Anchorage (Alaska) June 4 – Pittsburgh (Southwest) June 11 – Kalispell/Glacier, Montana (Alaska), and June 13 – Missoula, Montana (Alaska).

    The expanded international flights include two that already began. KLM Royal Dutch Airlines resumed service three times per week to Amsterdam on Feb. 21 and Lufthansa, on Saturday, began flying daily to Munich, Germany out of San Diego.

    International expansions to come include:

    Friday – London-Heathrow, United Kingdom (British Airways), increasing to twice daily, and Calgary, Alberta (WestJet), increasing to nine weekly flights in July.
