UNITED AIRLINES SEATTLE-SAN FRANCISCO HOURLY SERVICE SCHEDULED

United Airlines said yesterday it plans to initiate hourly service between Seattle and San Francisco beginning in June.
United said its flights will be timed to permit travelers to connect in San Francisco with flights to 38 destinations. The Chicago-based airline will also add additional service between San Francisco and Los Angeles, Orange County and Toronto.
The new schedule calls for 16 southbound and 15 northbound flights daily between San Francisco and Seattle, compared with eight flights each way now. A United spokesman said the airline expects passenger traffic between the two cities to increase. ``We wouldn't be doing this unless we felt the market could support it," he said.
United's spokesman said the stepped-up schedule will allow the airline to make use of increased numbers of Boeing 737-300 jets scheduled for delivery over the next four years.
Alaska Airlines, which has seven daily round-trip flights to San Francisco, said it has no plans to match United's new schedule. An Alaska spokesman said the airline will add an additional round trip to its daily schedule, but that the move had been planned for some time.
