Alaska Airlines has announced a new international service between Seattle and Tokyo Narita, operated by Hawaiian Airlines' long-haul aircraft. This marks the beginning of daily nonstop flights between the two cities and a new era of widebody international flying for Alaska Airlines.
Ben Minicucci, CEO at Alaska Air Group, stated, "With the combination of Alaska and Hawaiian, we’re transforming Seattle into the West Coast’s new premier global gateway." The airline plans to serve at least 12 international destinations with widebody aircraft from Seattle by 2030.
The first two long-haul flights from Seattle will be to Tokyo Narita and Seoul Incheon. Flights to Seoul are set to begin on September 12. Joe Sprague, CEO at Hawaiian Airlines, expressed enthusiasm about this collaboration: "Hawaiian has been serving the Tokyo market for nearly 15 years. We’re thrilled to open this new global gateway with Alaska."
