Fresno Yosemite International Airport did not respond to the Fresno Bee’s request for comment.
The sunny city is the airline’s fourth destination served through Fresno, according to YourCentralValley.com.
“Southwest Airlines continues to grow its presence at Fresno Yosemite International Airport by adding popular destinations to meet the increasing air travel needs of California’s Central Valley,” Interim Director of Aviation Francisco Partida said in a statement, according to the publication. “The addition of San Diego service operated by Southwest Airlines expands convenient access between the Central Valley and sunny Southern California and is timely with planning upcoming holiday travels.”
