Alaska Plans Six Routes From Seattle, Anchorage

Alaska Airlines plans five new nonstop routes from Seattle in 2027, expanding its network there to 119 destinations. Daily, year-round flights to Charlotte and Norfolk are scheduled to begin June 10, followed by Jacksonville and Des Moines on June 24; the latter three cities will gain their first nonstop Seattle service. Seasonal flights to Guadalajara are set to start March 18 and run three times a week through August 9. The expansion also gives Norfolk its first direct connection to Seattle, addressing a route the local airport has identified as underserved.
