Alaska Airlines will launch the Seattle–Rome route on April 28, 2026.
Although the carrier initially planned four roundtrips per week, strong demand has prompted a switch to one roundtrip per day. The route will be operated with Boeing 787-9 aircraft as a summer seasonal service.
This will be Alaska Airlines’ first service to Europe, and the airline has also announced plans to open Seattle–London/Heathrow and Reykjavik routes.
Alaska Airlines currently operates four Boeing 787-9s and expects to take delivery of a fifth by year-end. The fleet could grow to as many as 17 aircraft, and the carrier anticipates launching more than 12 transcontinental routes from Seattle by 2030.
