Delta announced Tuesday that it is adding two brand-new routes from its Seattle hub starting next year, as it goes head-to-head with Alaska.

Currently, the A350 operates a handful of routes from Seattle, including to Tokyo Haneda, Taipei, and Seoul Incheon, replacing the A330-900neo.

Unlike the airline’s other long-haul routes, this route will be operated by Alaska and not Hawaiian, the carrier said in a news release.

SeaPort Airlines is launching commuter service between Portland and Seattle, years after an earlier version of the carrier filed for bankruptcy.

Alaska Airlines CEO Ben Minicucci says the carrier will fly non-stop from Seattle to Europe by 2026, part of an effort to add global routes.

Alaska plans to stretch the Hawaiian Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner fleet in the coming years as it adds more long-haul destinations.

The Atlanta-based airline typically uses the Airbus A330-900neo aircraft on long-haul routes from its Pacific Northwest hub.

In its latest network shake-up, Alaska will deploy Hawaiian’s widebody aircraft on long-haul flights from its Seattle hub.

Alaska Airlines recently debuted a new, eye-catching livery inspired by the Seattle Kraken, the city’s National Hockey League (NHL) team.

SAS has announced a resumption of service to Seattle. The announcement comes as the first of likely multiple new routes for the Scandinavian carrier.
