CHARLOTTE — Charlotte Douglas International Airport announced on Thursday that Alaska Airlines will become its ninth domestic airline partner, adding new nonstop service between Charlotte and Seattle.
Starting June 10, 2027, Alaska Airlines will operate one daily, year-round flight to Seattle aboard a Boeing 737.
“We are excited to welcome Alaska Airlines to Charlotte and increase our strong network of airline partners,” said Haley Gentry, chief executive officer at CLT in a news release. “Expanding air service is essential to meeting the needs of our growing region. This new service will provide expanded connectivity, greater convenience, and more travel choices for our community.”
Tickets for the new route are now available at alaskaair.com. From its Seattle hub, Alaska connects travelers to destinations throughout the Pacific Northwest, Alaska, Hawaii and beyond.
Alaska Airlines is the first new domestic carrier to enter the Charlotte market since April 2023, when Sun Country launched twice-weekly service to Minneapolis-St. Paul. JetBlue also returned to Charlotte earlier this year after a two-year hiatus.
