He has visited OEM facilities as far and wide as Bristol, Toulouse, and Seattle, and recently enjoyed the milestone of flying his 150th sector as a passenger. Based in Norfolk, UK.

Alaska Airlines is a carrier that has been on the up in recent years, with its ongoing growth fueled by such factors as its long-haul debut and the acquisition of Hawaiian Airlines. This growth is also reflected in its continued route-network expansion, with a total of ten new nonstop links set to begin operations between November and June 2027, according to Cirium, an aviation analytics company.

Of these, two will commence in November, with another pair starting the next month to round out the year in style. 2027 will then herald a further six additions, with four of these being long-haul international services to both Europe and the Asia-Pacific region, and two being domestic links closer to home.

Four New Routes Before The Year Is Out

Alaska's first two additions, which it will begin serving in November 2026, link Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport (PHX) and Boise Airport (BOI) with Charles M. Schulz Sonoma County Airport (STS) in Santa Rosa, California. These daily regional flights will run until mid-April and will be operated on behalf of Alaska using Embraer E175 aircraft from Horizon Air and SkyWest Airlines.

The following month, December, will launch two new links to Daniel K. Inouye International Airport (HNL). These new services will originate in Boise and Spokane, with mainline Boeing 737 aircraft serving them. The Boise flights will run daily until mid-March, while those from Spokane will run until late April.

Kirsten Amrine, Alaska's VP of Network Planning & Revenue Management, welcomed the new routes.

"Whether you’re in Santa Rosa looking for a winter escape to the snow or sun, or a SoCal traveler looking for a convenient alternative to the region’s busiest airports, this expansion has you covered."

Going Long

Moving into 2027, Alaska's headline additions are set to be its four new long-haul corridors out of Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA). Two of these will serve destinations in Europe using the carrier's 787-9 Dreamliner widebody twinjets. Meanwhile, the other pair will link Seattle to far-flung Asia-Pacific destinations using Hawaiian's Airbus A330-200s.

Starting with the European corridors, Alaska will launch new flights from Seattle to Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport (CDG) in France and Athens Eleftherios Venizelos International Airport (ATH) in Greece in May 2027. Over the summer, the Paris route will peak at a frequency of five flights a week. Meanwhile, those flying from Seattle to Athens will have three flights a week to choose from.

Flying the other way, Alaska Airlines will also begin flying from Seattle to Kansai International Airport (KIX) in the Japanese city of Osaka in mid-May. As detailed in our coverage linked below, these flights will be operated four times a week using Hawaiian's A330-200s. In June, these jets will also be used to launch Alaska flights from Seattle to Papeete in Tahiti, running three times a week.

Domestic Additions In 2027

Domestic flying will continue to account for the vast majority of Alaska's day-to-day operations in 2027. With this in mind, it is unsurprising to see that next year will herald the arrival of two more internal routes at the oneworld member. The first will link Portland International Airport (PDX) in Oregon with Yampa Valley Regional Airport (HDN) in Colorado.

These flights will run twice a week in February and March 2027 using E175 regional jets from SkyWest. Elsewhere, mid-April 2027 will see Alaska launch a new route from Seattle Paine Field International Airport (PAE) in Washington to San Jose Mineta International Airport (SJC) in California. These flights are set to operate twice a day using E175, but this time from Horizon Air.
