"Alaska Airlines launches 2 more nonstop intercontinental routes from Seattle" by @TheSeattleTimes - Alaska Airlines announced seasonal 787-9 routes from Seattle #SEA / #KSEA to Athens #ATH / #LGAV and Paris #CDG / #LFPG for May-October 2027. Alaska will compete with Delta & Air France on SEA-CDG. No competition yet on SEA-ATH - but Delta has so far announced routes to compete with Alaska on all its new 787 long-haul routes from SEA. https://www.seattletimes.com/business/alaska-airlines/alaska-airlines-launches-2-more-nonstop-intercontinental-routes-from-seattle/ #Alaska787 #aviation #travel #avgeek

Alaska Airlines completed repainting #N780HA, the 2nd of 5 #Alaska787 planes in Aurora Borealis livery. It flew from Fort Worth Meacham Field #KFTW to Seattle #KSEA this morning to re-enter service. It took 3 weeks for repainting. The next ones may take less time - filed and canceled flight plans looked like they wanted to get it out before last weekend's ice storm. At the same time, next plane in line #N781HA flew from SEA to FTW for repainting. https://www.flightaware.com/live/flight/N781HA/history/20260129/0925Z/KSEA/KFTW #aviation #travel #avgeek

I went for a day trip to Seattle today to try to catch the #Alaska787 #N784HA with Aurora Borealis livery. For the takeoff, I found a spot with better lighting, putting the late-afternoon setting sun behind me. #KSEA #aviation #travel #avgeek #PNW

I went for a day trip to Seattle today to try to catch the #Alaska787 #N784HA with Aurora Borealis livery. I got it! The weather was perfect except for unavoidable low sun angle of winter. The spot where I was for the landing didn't have ideal lighting and got the shaded side of the plane. #KSEA #aviation #travel #avgeek #PNW

Alex Crail posted a nice photo of the newly-painted #Alaska787 #N784HA arrival at Seattle-Tacoma Int'l Airport #KSEA last night before its entry into service today. https://www.airliners.net/photo/Alaska-Airlines/Boeing-787-9-Dreamliner/8010593/L #aviation #travel #avgeek #PNW

New #Alaska787 #N784HA is in flight on its entry-into-service flight from Seattle #KSEA to Tokyo Narita #RJAA . (link in previous post) And a friend pointed out that even before that took off, Hawaiian's oldest 787 #N780HA flew from Seattle to Fort Worth #KFTW to be repainted to Alaska. The other 3 are expected to get turns in the paint hangar before Seattle-Rome flights begin in late April. https://www.flightaware.com/live/flight/N780HA/history/20260108/1810Z/KSEA/KFTW #aviation #business #travel #avgeek #PNW

A new flight plan indicates #Alaska787 #N784HA entry into service flight will be tomorrow (Thu Jan 8) from Seattle #SEA / #KSEA to Tokyo Narita #NRT / #RJAA. So now we can tell the week it spent on the ground at LAX in December was fleet induction and readiness for service, pretty much as expected. Between now and then it has to fly from Boeing Field to Seattle-Tacoma Int'l, a distance of 5 nautical miles (6mi/9km). https://www.flightaware.com/live/flight/N784HA/history/20260108/2030Z/KSEA/RJAA #aviation #business #travel #avgeek #PNW
