Alaska Airlines has crossed the Atlantic for the first time, launching a new nonstop flight from Seattle to Rome and opening the carrier’s first route to Europe.
The seasonal daily service between Seattle-Tacoma International Airport and Rome Fiumicino began on April 28 and runs through October 23. With the launch of the route, Alaska is offering the first-ever nonstop connection between Seattle and Rome.

The new flight 180, operating on the airline’s Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner, departs Seattle at 5:30 p.m. and arrives in Rome at 1:15 p.m. the following day. The return service leaves Rome at 3:25 p.m. and lands in Seattle at 5:45 p.m.

Rome is Alaska’s first stop into Europe

The Rome launch marks a major shift for Alaska, which has long been a US domestic carrier. The airline first announced plans to turn its Seattle home into a global hub in 2024, following its merger with Hawaiian Airlines. In Asia, Alaska now serves Tokyo and Seoul, after taking over Hawaiian Airlines’ long-haul operations. In Europe, the airline has announced new flights to London and Reykjavik beginning this year.

Cirium data shows that Alaska will compete with Delta Air Lines on Seattle-Rome. Delta will offer limited seasonal service with 98 flights scheduled from May to October.

Alaska’s Seattle-to-London-Heathrow service will be a year-round route, with flights currently scheduled from May 21, 2026, through March of next year. It will compete directly with British Airways, Delta and Virgin Atlantic which also offer SEA-LHR flights year-round.

Alaska has daily flights scheduled from Seattle-Tacoma (SEA) to Keflavik Airport (KEF) running as a seasonal route from May 28 through September 7. It will compete with Icelandair which offers year-round daily service.
