Delta Air Lines to Relaunch Tokyo Narita Service from Seattle, Intensifying Competition
Delta Air Lines is set to challenge Alaska Airlines by reintroducing service to Tokyo Narita from Seattle, escalating competition on this route.
Seattle Tacoma, WA, August 6, 2026 —
Delta Air Lines is poised to reintroduce direct service from Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA) to Tokyo Narita International Airport (NRT), a move that is expected to heighten competition with existing carrier Alaska Airlines on this transpacific route.
The airline has not yet announced specific dates for the resumption of service. The reintroduction of this route signifies Delta’s intent to expand its presence and offerings from its Seattle hub, directly confronting Alaska Airlines, which currently operates flights to Tokyo.
This strategic decision by Delta is anticipated to offer travelers more choices and potentially impact fare prices on the Seattle to Tokyo corridor. Further details regarding the flight schedule, aircraft type, and commencement date are expected to be released by Delta Air Lines in the coming months.
