US EditionSeattle's Sea-Tac expands with nonstop flights to Tokyo
- Alaska Airlines launched its inaugural Seattle-Tokyo Narita nonstop flight on May 12, 2025, departing from Sea-Tac Airport aboard a Hawaiian Airlines-operated Airbus A330-200.
- This flight and the planned 12 additional nonstop global routes by 2030 stem from Alaska's merger with Hawaiian Airlines, completed in September 2024 for $1.9 billion.
- The Airbus A330-200 operated by the airline includes a cabin layout of 18 lie-flat business seats, 18 seats in the Economy Comfort section, and 192 standard economy seats. Additionally, the airline will introduce new routes to Seoul starting in September and plans to begin service to Europe in 2026.
- CEO Ben Minicucci said, "Nobody ever does great things if you're always safe," and emphasized plans to be "bold, aggressive, try things," while expanding Seattle as a premier global gateway.
- These expansions increase Seattle's connectivity with Asia and Europe, create new travel options, and leverage Alaska's growing widebody fleet inherited from the merger.
