Delta CEO Ed Bastian said there is room for two airlines in Seattle, not a battle for the market, while Alaska Airlines is the biggest carrier at Seattle‑Tacoma International Airport, operating roughly double the number of flights that Delta will fly from the airport this year.
Alaska recently acquired Hawaiian Airlines and a new fleet of long‑haul planes, will add service to Athens and Paris next summer, expects to serve at least 15 long‑haul destinations from Seattle by the end of the decade, plans lie‑flat suites on key domestic routes, is building a new Aurora Lounge at SeaTac, and aims to be the number one international carrier in Seattle by 2030.
