Alaska Airlines to Launch Daily Seattle-Rome Service Starting April 28
In an exciting development for travelers, Alaska Airlines has announced that its new service connecting Seattle to Rome will officially commence on April 28. Initially planned as a seasonal route operating four times a week, the airline has upgraded the service to operate daily, catering to the growing demand for transatlantic travel.
Expanding European Destinations
In addition to its Seattle-Rome service, Alaska Airlines will introduce flights next spring from Seattle to two other European destinations: London Heathrow and Reykjavik, Iceland. These routes represent Alaska Airlines’ first foray into Europe, marking a significant expansion of its network.
Aircraft and Competition
The Seattle-Rome route will utilize the modern Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner, which offers enhanced comfort and efficiency for passengers. Alaska Airlines will face competition from major carrier Delta Airlines, which is set to launch its own Seattle-Rome service on May 6, using the Airbus A330-900neo aircraft, also operating four times weekly.
Conclusion
With the launch of the daily Seattle-Rome service, Alaska Airlines is not only enhancing its offerings but also making strides in the competitive European travel market. Whether you’re heading for a vacation or business trip, these new routes open exciting opportunities for air travel between the U.S. and Europe.
