NEW YORK (AP) — Alaska Airlines said Tuesday it will start new service to Tokyo and Seoul next year as part of a plan to boost international flights over the next several years. Alaska announced the new routes Tuesday as it raised its fourth-quarter outlook and publicized a plan to boost profit by $1 billion over three years. It said greater efficiency from combining with Hawaiian Airlines will save the company at least $500 million by 2027.
