Alaska Airlines to Launch New Nonstop Routes to Athens and Paris from Seattle
Alaska Airlines is launching new nonstop routes from Seattle to Athens and Paris starting in 2026, expanding its European network.
Seattle Tacoma, WA, August 20, 2026 —
Alaska Airlines announced plans to introduce new nonstop service from Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA) to two major European cities: Athens, Greece, and Paris, France. The new routes are slated to begin in 2026, marking a significant expansion of the carrier’s international offerings.
The introduction of these flights will provide travelers with direct access from the Pacific Northwest to popular European destinations. While the exact start dates and flight frequencies for 2026 were not immediately available, the airline confirmed the expansion as part of its strategy to broaden its network.
This move by Alaska Airlines is seen as a step towards strengthening its position in international travel, particularly for passengers on the West Coast of the United States. The addition of Athens and Paris to its route map suggests a growing demand for transatlantic travel originating from Seattle.
Further details regarding the schedule, aircraft type, and booking information are expected to be released by Alaska Airlines closer to the launch dates in 2026. The airline has not provided specific information on whether these routes will be seasonal or year-round.
