On May 13, our new route connecting Tokyo’s Narita International Airport and Seattle took flight, marking a milestone for the newly combined Hawaiian Airlines and Alaska Airlines.

“Today we are celebrating Alaska Air Group’s new global gateway, something that is only made possible because of the combined strengths of Alaska Airlines and Hawaiian Airlines,” said Hawaiian Airlines CEO Joe Sprague during a gate event at Narita International Airport.

“Hawaiian has proudly served Japan for nearly 15 years, and it’s because of Hawaiian’s strong relationships within the Japan market, along with Alaska’s deep relationships in Seattle, that we were able to launch this new service within months of becoming a combined company.”

A Time to Celebrate
To mark the occasion, Hawaiian Airlines held a traditional Hawaiian blessing, followed by a ribbon-cutting ceremony at both airports.

In Tokyo, the Mariner Moose, mascot of the Seattle Mariners, posed for photos with guests. In Seattle, taiko drummers performed for travelers heading to Japan.

Inaugural passengers received co-branded gifts, including fans, tote bags and commemorative luggage tags.

A New Global Gateway
The new Seattle-Narita service opens a key gateway between the West Coast and Asia. Travelers from Japan can now connect to more than 100 U.S. cities via Seattle, Alaska Airlines’ largest hub, from New York to Las Vegas. Travelers heading beyond Tokyo can connect on oneworld partner Japan Airlines.

The route is operated daily by Hawaiian’s Airbus A330 aircraft, with the following schedule:

Note: Flight times are subject to change. Please check before traveling.

Passengers on the A330 will enjoy complimentary high-speed Starlink Wi-Fi, ideal for streaming, working or staying in touch with friends and family.
