Alaska Airlines launches new nonstop flights between Seattle and Seoul Incheon via its subsidiary Hawaiian Airlines, which it acquired last year.
Flights will start on September 12, 2025, a day before the start of Korean thanksgiving — or ‘chuseok’. The route will be operated by the airline's A330-200 aircraft.
The company said that, by 2030, it plans to serve at least 12 nonstop international destinations with widebody aircraft from Seattle, including Seoul Incheon and Tokyo Narita. The company will start daily flights to Tokyo Narita on May 12.
"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," said Andrew Harrison, chief commercial officer at Alaska Airlines. "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."
The company said it will “soon” be adding the 787 Dreamliner to the Seattle-Seoul Incheon route.
