An additional service with a stop in London-Heathrow will begin in March 2021, flying a Boeing 777-200.

“These new routes highlight the increasing demand from our travelers for more options,” Port of Seattle Commissioner Peter Steinbrueck said in a release. “Business and leisure travelers will be better connected to Seattle’s largest international market in London and explore new and emerging markets in India.”
