阿拉斯加航空开通西雅图直飞大阪与帕皮提航线：2027年春季启航
位于华盛顿州的西雅图—塔科马国际机场将新增两条跨太平洋直飞航线。阿拉斯加航空集团（Alaska Air Group）宣布，将开通西雅图直飞日本大阪与塔希提帕皮提的全年航线：大阪航线2027年5月14日启航、每周四班，帕皮提航线2027年6月11日启航、每周三班。两条航线均为目前唯一直飞连接这两对城市的航班，旅客无需再经东京或洛杉矶（Los Angeles）中转。
两条航线将由夏威夷航空的宽体空客 A330 飞机执飞，机上设可平躺商务舱套间，会员可使用免费高速 Starlink Wi-Fi。夏威夷航空自檀香山出发的大阪与帕皮提航线将继续运营。阿拉斯加航空集团总裁兼首席执行官 Ben Minicucci 表示：“我们才刚刚开始，随着我们成长为西海岸领先的全球航空公司，地平线上还有更多国际目的地。”该集团提出到2030年把西雅图建成通达至少15个长途洲际目的地的全球门户。
新航线已开售推广票价：即日起至10月26日，西雅图往返帕皮提主舱起价999美元，往返大阪起价1199美元。（GSM 据 Parade 与阿拉斯加航空集团发布综合报道）
Alaska Airlines to Launch Seattle Nonstops to Osaka and Papeete: Service Starts Spring 2027
Seattle-Tacoma International Airport in Washington state will gain two transpacific nonstop routes. Alaska Air Group announced year-round nonstop service from Seattle to Osaka, Japan, starting May 14, 2027 with four flights a week, and to Papeete, Tahiti, starting June 11, 2027 with three flights a week. The group says these will be the only nonstop services connecting the city pairs, ending the need to connect through Tokyo or Los Angeles.
Both routes will be flown by Hawaiian Airlines widebody Airbus A330 aircraft with lie-flat business class suites and free high-speed Starlink Wi-Fi for loyalty members. Hawaiian's existing Honolulu services to Osaka and Papeete will continue. "We're just getting started, with more international destinations on the horizon as we grow as the leading global airline on the West Coast," said Ben Minicucci, president and CEO of Alaska Air Group. The group aims to make Seattle a global gateway serving at least 15 long-haul intercontinental destinations by 2030.
Introductory round-trip main cabin fares are on sale through October 26, starting at $999 to Papeete and $1,199 to Osaka. (GSM, based on Parade and Alaska Air Group announcements)
