Bringing the most state-of-the-art aircraft to the Pacific Northwest<\/p>\n
To support Alaska\u2019s transformation, we\u2019re establishing a 787-9 hub in Seattle that will deploy as many as 17 787s across our global network. In addition to our existing 737 pilot base, we will open a new pilot base to support 787 operations beginning next spring. We currently have four Dreamliners in the fleet.<\/p>\n
The 787-9 has long-range capability, superior fuel efficiency, next-generation technology and award-winning suites in Business Class that offer a spacious, fully lie-flat seat, an 18\u201d screen for enjoying entertainment and a privacy door with direct aisle access.<\/p>\n
The long-haul Dreamliner experience will be available from the Pacific Northwest when service begins between Seattle and Seoul-Incheon on Sept. 12, and on the existing Seattle-Tokyo Narita route starting on Jan. 7, 2026. Flights to Rome<\/a> are scheduled to begin next spring.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Bringing the most state-of-the-art aircraft to the Pacific Northwest To support Alaska\u2019s transformation, we\u2019re establishing a 787-9 hub…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":60476,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[25021,28,160,1026],"class_list":{"0":"post-60475","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-business","8":"tag-alaska-airlines","9":"tag-business","10":"tag-investors","11":"tag-press-releases"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/60475","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=60475"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/60475\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/60476"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=60475"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=60475"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=60475"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
