Alaska Airlines choices of new routes for the 787 Dreamliners they got with the Hawaiian Airlines acquisition show they've been asking customers what they want. Initially Pacific Ocean routes for Hawaiian are to Asia. Then Alaska's transatlantic route announcements to Rome, then London & Reykjavik.
Why Reykjavik? #Iceland is popular with tourists in Summer. My hunch is the upcoming August 2026 total #SolarEclipse in Iceland maybe was a factor. #aviation #travel #avgeek #astronomy #Eclipse2026
