Mabanglo/EPA June 3 (UPI) -- Alaska Airlines is planning to start its first flights to Europe from Seattle, which will add Rome as a destination. The flights are set to begin in May 2026 and will go on sale in the fall, Alaska said. Their new route will fly with Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner jets, which are being operated by the airlines. Alaska plans to transform Seattle to the west coast's main global gateway. "We are serious about building a global gateway out of Seattle, and we will serve the major demand markets," said Alaska's chief commercial officer, Andrew Harrison. Italy is a popular destination which led Alaska's much larger rivals like Delta and United to ramp their services up. In September 2024,Alaska Airlines completed its $1.9 billion purchase of Hawaiian Airline which gave it access to 29 international markets and over 141 new destinations. Last month Alaska launched services to Tokyo's Narita International Airport and plans to start service to Seoul in September. The airline needs Federal Aviation Administration approval to have the combined fleet from Hawaiian on a single operating certificate, Alaska expects this in the fourth quarter.

Is Trump leading us into a recession?

Mabanglo/EPA-EFE/Shutterstock) In an interview broadcast on Sunday, President Donald Trump declined to rule out that Americans could see a recession this year as the economy stutters from his efforts to impose tariffs and cut down the size of the federal government. He told Fox News anchor Maria Bartiromo, 'I hate to predict things like that. There is a period of transition, because what we're doing is very big. We're bringing wealth back to America. That's a big thing.' Today on 'Post Reports,' economics correspondent Abha Bhattarai joins host Colby Itkowitz to talk about the economic indicators informing the Trump administration, how businesses and consumers are handling inflation, and whether we're headed toward a recession.
