Alaska Airlines has firmed up the launch date for its new nonstop service between Seattle and Seoul Incheon on Hawaiian Airlines.
Commencing 12 September 2025, guests can fly in comfort on the carrier’s Airbus A330-200 aircraft to South Korea’s capital city.
The new international route was flagged in December as part of Alaska Airlines’ vision to further elevate Seattle-Tacoma as a global hub, transforming the West Coast into a premier gateway.
“By 2030, we plan to serve at least 12 nonstop international destinations with widebody aircraft from Seattle, including Seoul Incheon and Tokyo Narita,” Alaska Airlines said.
Daily flights between Seattle and Tokyo Narita will begin on 12 May 2025.
Alaska’s Seattle hub is the largest airline hub on the West Coast, serving 104 nonstop destinations across North America for convenient travel options and connections.
“With our robust network, we can connect our guests through our global gateway in Seattle for convenient nonstop service to Seoul and Tokyo, with additional connections to other Asian destinations with our global partners. As we grow our global network from Seattle in the coming years, we’ll announce new international routes to dynamic destinations that we know our guests are going to love to visit,” said Andrew Harrison, Chief Commercial Officer at Alaska Airlines.
The Seattle-Seoul route will eventually be serviced by Hawaiian Airlines’ Boeing 787 Dreamliner aircraft.
