China Airlines began service from Taipei to Seattle on July 14, 2024<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA) celebrated its 75th anniversary on July 9, 2024, followed by welcoming its fifth new international route this year, with China Airlines\u2019 Taipei (TPE)-Seattle route just a few days later on July 14, using an Airbus A350-900.<\/p>\n

The schedule is as follows:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

SEA commenced flight operations on July 9, 1949. Things were a lot different back then \u2013 the general public was allowed on the ramp to view the aircraft, and the terminal was tiny compared to what it\u2019s become.<\/p>\n

\"\"

In 1949, the airport had eight gates and served 130,549 passengers that year. Fast-forward to 2024, and SEA has 89 gates and serves an average of 140,000 passengers every single day.<\/p>\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n

More interesting factoids: SEA\u2019s first international service was with Japan Airlines in 1959. Today, there are 25 international carriers serving 33 global destinations.<\/p>\n

\"\"

Which nicely leads us back to \u2026 airplanes!<\/p>\n

\"\"

China Airlines Cargo has long served Seattle; the recent inaugural passenger flight is the airline\u2019s sixth North American destination, and its debut for passenger service to the U.S. Pacific Northwest.<\/p>\n

\"\"
The arriving aircraft received a traditional water-cannon salute from the airport fire department. The late-afternoon sun made for some interesting photo challenges<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

China Airlines is the third airline to offer direct service to Taipei, competing for passengers with Delta Air Lines and EVA Air.<\/p>\n

\"\"

It\u2019s always a fantastic experience to get out onto the ramp for an aircraft arrival, especially an inaugural. <\/p>\n

And congratulations to SEA for 75 successful years!<\/p>\n
