One of the largest unserved markets to Seattle is now served. And ready for tasty delights that come from the exchange.
Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA) welcomes the first European destination by Alaska Airlines with its first-ever service to Rome, Italy. So, anyone ready for some delicious pastas, world-renowned historic sites, and incredible collections of art? A turret salute sent off the first summer-seasonal inaugural flight from SEA yesterday.
“Alaska Airlines’ new direct flight to Rome opens one of the largest unserved markets for SEA for both leisure and business travelers,” said Ryan Calkins, Port of Seattle Commission President. “Creating this new link between Italy and the Pacific Northwest will allow travelers on both sides of the connection to explore our shared passions for cuisine, culture, and natural beauty.”
This is the latest effort by Alaska Airlines to expand internationally, adding an exciting new destination to SEA’s global map of connectivity. In May, Alaska will add additional international services to London and Reykjavik.
“Launching our first flight to Europe is a significant step in executing our long-term growth strategy,” said Ben Minicucci, CEO of Alaska Air Group. “Service to Rome expands how we connect our guests to the world, strengthens Seattle’s role as a global gateway, and is made possible by our people who deliver safety, care, and performance with every flight. Andiamo!”
