Alaska Airlines CEO Ben Minicucci has announced that the airline is planning to commence flights to Europe in 2026. This development follows the company's entry into the long-haul transcontinental market after its merger with Hawaiian Airlines.

"Alaska Airlines is eyeing service to Europe in 2026," Minicucci revealed in a public statement. The move marks a significant step as the carrier expands its reach beyond the continental United States and newly acquired transcontinental routes.

This expansion is part of a broader strategy to diversify and grow the airline's operations by tapping into international markets, leveraging the additional capacity gained through its merger.
