Alaska Airlines to launch flights to Rome next year
Alaska Airlines is making its Europe debut with the launch of nonstop flights to Rome next year.
The Seattle-based carrier will operate four weekly flights to and from its Pacific Northwest hub to the popular Italian city starting in May 2026.
Flights from Seattle-Tacoma Internatinal Airport and Rome Fiumicino Leonardo da Vinci Airport will go on sale in the fall.
The airline says it selected Rome as its first European destination because it's one of the 'most requested' destinations among its reward members.
This will be the third long-haul international route Alaska will launch from its Seattle home base since acquiring Hawaiian Airlines and its fleet of long-haul jets in 2024.
According to Alaska Airlines CEO Ben Minicucci, the carrier plans to expand its global reach, intending to fly to 12 international destinations on multiple continents by 2030.
Last month, Alaska launched its inaugural flights to Tokyo's Narita International Airport.
Flights to Seoul, South Korea, are up next, which start on Sept. 12.
The new Seattle-Rome route will also double as the launch for Alaska's new flagship international Dreamliner experience on board the new Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner Jets, which is expected to include all-new business-class suites and amenities.
