Over the weekend, I got a look at the construction site at PDX Airport for Alaska Airlines' upcoming widebody maintenance hangar, which will be wide enough for 2x787/A330 or 3x737/A321. Some city permits are still under review. So other than some equipment for clearing the property, they're waiting on approval to begin construction. Since Alaska acquired its widebody fleet from Hawaiian, their only current widebody hangar is in Honolulu. #Alaska787 #KPDX #aviation #avgeek #business #PNW

2 months ago I speculated about timing of two upcoming Alaska Airlines widebody-related developments: the 787/A330 2-bay maintenance hangar at Portland #KPDX and delivery of 787-9 LN1340, next #Alaska787 from CHS factory.
* PDX hangar is expected to break ground this summer and take up to 2 years to build (permits in progress)
* LN1340 delivery looks like September (1320 just rolled out + 2-2.5 months at 8-10 planes/month + 1 month to paint/test/deliver) https://avgeek.social/@ikluft/116372267495657520 #aviation #avgeek

While the first transatlantic service by Alaska Airlines was big for them, it technically wasn't new. They already fly the same duration flights on 787s between Seattle & Seoul, about 11 hours on the westbound leg. For the summer season, their fleet of 5 787-9s are SEA-FCO🇮🇹 & SEA-ICN🇰🇷. 787s on SEA-HNL will mostly end after moving the 787 pilot base from HNL to SEA. SEA-NRT🇯🇵 switched to Hawaiian A330s to free up 2 787-9s for Rome. http://www.gcmap.com/mapui?P=sea-icn,+sea-fco #Alaska787 #aviation #travel #avgeek

One day before Alaska Airlines begins Seattle-Rome service, they announced the new on-board safety video for their 787-9 Dreamliners. It features scenes from Seattle, Tokyo, Seoul, Rome & Sydney. (None in Alaska or Hawaii.)

Sydney is not an announced Alaska 787 destination from Seattle. But Hawaiian A330s already fly there from Honolulu, now with Alaska radio callsign. So it's pre-announcing SEA-SYD plans must be next. https://news.alaskaair.com/guest-experience/alaska-airlines-safety-video-boeing-787-dreamliner/ #Alaska787 #aviation #business #travel #avgeek #PNW
