This fall, our global cargo network is truly growing far and wide — with more international routes and bigger aircraft to serve them.
On Friday, September 12, we will launch nonstop service between Seattle (SEA) and Seoul Incheon (ICN) five days a week on our 787 aircraft, which carry 40% more cargo than our A330 widebodies. And in the coming months, we will move a 787 to our bustling Tokyo Narita (NRT)-Seattle route to match capacity to the demand for one of our most popular new routes. Since our long-haul service from Seattle began in May, customers in Japan and the U.S. have been relying on the daily NRT-SEA service to move everything from perishables, like cherries and seafood, to electronics and auto parts.
In addition, our seasonal widebody service between Honolulu (HNL) and Auckland (AKL) returns in November, and we are adding more flights between Honolulu (HNL) and Sydney (SYD) during the busy holiday-shipping season, increasing service to daily.
Our combined Alaska and Hawaiian Air Cargo network reaches 14 locations nonstop across Asia, the South Pacific, Canada and Mexico from our global gateways in Seattle and Honolulu (HNL). And in 2026, we will begin offering nonstop long-haul service from Seattle to London (LHR) and Rome (FCO)!
Other exciting network opportunities to watch for this fall:
San Diego expansion: At the beginning of October, we are adding several nonstop flights each day between San Diego (SAN) and Chicago (ORD), as well as Denver (DEN). Later this fall, we are increasing the number of flights to Las Vegas (LAS) and San Jose, Calif. (SJC) to six times every day, and the number of flights to Salt Lake City (SLC) will increase to three daily.
Honolulu-Seattle growth: Starting in late November, we’ll add a fourth daily widebody flight between our hubs in Honolulu and Seattle, giving us a total of six flights every day.
More Hawai’i capacity for the holidays: During the busy holiday shipping period, we will add a fifth daily flight between Honolulu and Los Angeles (LAX), and we will have capacity on 12 flights every week between Anchorage (ANC) and Honolulu.
As we align our fleet to better serve our combined global network, some routes will be discontinued this fall. Those flights include Honolulu-Seoul, Honolulu-Fukuoka (FUK) and Honolulu-Boston (BOS). (Our daily Honolulu-New York (JFK) widebody service and Seattle-Boston 737 flights are still available.) To discuss the best shipping options for your needs, please contact our cargo sales team. Our sales managers are happy to talk about the opportunities throughout our network.
