Alaska Airlines plans to link Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport with Tokyo Narita International Airport on a nonstop route beginning in 2027. The proposed service still requires government approval.
Key details
- Alaska plans to fly Boeing 737 MAX 8 aircraft on the route.
- The schedule calls for daily service from May 13 through September 7, 2027, followed by three flights per week beginning in January 2028.
- For summer 2027, the airline also plans seasonal Anchorage routes to Austin, Dallas-Fort Worth, and Nashville.
- Alaska plans Seattle–Osaka-Kansai service beginning May 14, 2027, using Airbus A330 aircraft from Hawaiian Airlines.
Alaska plans daily Anchorage–Tokyo Narita flights from May 13 through September 7, 2027.
Why it matters
The proposed route would give Anchorage travelers a nonstop connection to Tokyo, while Alaska’s other planned Anchorage additions would connect the city with three more US destinations. The Seattle–Osaka plan would add another transpacific link to the airline’s 2027 network.
What happens next
The proposed Anchorage–Tokyo service and Alaska’s other 2027 route plans point to more options for travelers across the Pacific and within the United States. Which of these routes would you most like to see take off?
