Alaska and Hawaiian Airlines to Launch Nonstop Flights to Seoul Incheon
Alaska Airlines and Hawaiian Airlines have revealed the launch date for new nonstop service between Seattle and Seoul Incheon. Starting Sept. 12, 2025, guests can fly in a Hawaiian Airlines widebody Airbus A330-200 aircraft to South Korea’s capital city.
This route was first announced this past December and tickets can now be purchased at alaskaair.com and hawaiianairlines.com.
With the combination of Alaska and Hawaiian, Seattle will serve at least 12 nonstop international destinations with widebody aircraft by 2030, including Seoul Incheon and Tokyo Narita. Daily flights between Seattle and Tokyo Narita begin on May 12.
Alaska’s Seattle hub is the largest airline hub on the West Coast, serving 104 nonstop destinations across North America.
“With our robust network, we can connect our guests through our global gateway in Seattle for convenient nonstop service to Seoul and Tokyo, with additional connections to other Asian destinations with our global partners,” said Andrew Harrison, chief commercial officer at Alaska Airlines. “As we grow our global network from Seattle in the coming years, we’ll announce new international routes to dynamic destinations that we know our guests are going to love to visit.”
The airlines also said they “look forward to adding our flagship Boeing 787 Dreamliner aircraft to the Seattle-Seoul Incheon route soon.”
