Alaska Airlines international expansion from Seattle

Overview

Alaska Airlines has announced plans to launch new seasonal nonstop routes from its Seattle hub to Athens, Greece, and Paris, France, in the spring of 2027.

The service to Athens is scheduled to begin on May 12, 2027, operating three times weekly. This will represent the longest flight in the airline’s history and the first nonstop connection between the Greek capital and the U.S. West Coast. The Paris service is set to commence on May 25, 2027, with flights operating five times weekly through the fall.

Both routes will utilize Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner aircraft. This expansion is part of a broader strategic goal to transform Seattle into a global gateway, with the airline aiming to operate more than 12 long-haul international destinations from the city by 2030.
