Alaska Airlines will debut direct Seattle–Rome flights in May 2026, marking its first European route. Operating four times weekly with Hawaiian Airlines’ Boeing 787-9s, the service boosts Seattle’s role as a global hub. The move aligns with Alaska’s $1B profit-growth strategy and integration with Hawaiian Airlines. With plans for 12 international routes from Seattle by 2030, Alaska Airlines expands its global footprint.
