Alaska Airlines plans to start its first flights to Europe next year with non -stop service in Rome from Seattle.
The new route of the transporter based in Seattle is activated by its acquisition Hawaiian airlines – and its fleet of long -haul jets – last year.
Flights are expected to start next May and will be sold this fall to come, said Alaska on Tuesday. The service four times a week will use Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner Jets, who are in the combined fleet of the company after the merger.
Alaska plans to add a multitude of long international destinations until the end of the decade of Seattle.
“We are serious about the construction of a world gateway from Seattle, and we will serve the main demand markets,” said Alaska commercial director Andrew Harrison.
Alaska leaders said they wanted develop on a global scaleAnd added on Tuesday that many members of the loyalty program for the airline’s mileage plan asked Rome to its center in Seattle.
Italy has remained a popular destination, encouraging much larger rivals like Delta And United To accelerate the service there, especially with new non-stir arts in Sicily and small cities on the continent.
Alaska launched a service at Narita International Airport in Tokyo last month and plans to start service in Seoul in September. Harrison said Tokyo flights were about 80% and added that he expects theft to the two Asian capitals to increase freight income.
To exploit the routes, the airline needs the approval of the Federal Aviation Administration to have the combined fleet of Hawaii on a single operating certificate, which Alaska expects in the fourth quarter.
