Japan Airlines has unveiled plans to launch
flights between
Narita International Airport (NRT) near Tokyo and Seattle-Tacoma
International Airport (SEA), starting 31 March 2019.
This will
be JAL’s sixth West Coast route operating between Japan and North
America.
“We are pleased to announce the introduction of
the Seattle-Narita route, which will go into service in March
2019,” said Tadashi Fujita, Executive Vice President of Japan
Airlines. “Along with our joint business partner, American
Airlines, we look forward to welcoming more visitors to Asia for
business or pleasure who will experience Japanese hospitality from
the moment they step onboard the aircraft,”
JAL and Alaska Airlines also recently confirmed
that they will introduce 20 new codeshare
flights through Seattle, giving customers a total of 56
U.S. destinations to choose from on flights operated by Alaska
Airlines.
“This new route will strengthen American and
JAL’s joint business across the Pacific and meet the growing
demand in the Seattle-Tokyo market,” said American Airlines
President Robert Isom. “Our customers in Seattle will soon have
nonstop service to one of the world’s most important business and
leisure destinations, as well as convenient connections to many
other cities in Asia.”
