Delta Announces New Non-Stop Service From Indianapolis To Seattle

Want to go to Seattle? You'll soon have a new nonstop flight option thanks to Delta Air Lines. Starting June 2018, a new nonstop flight out of Indianapolis International Airport (IND) will give Indy travelers the choice between two flights daily through Alaska Airlines and now Delta, the airport reports. Delta's new nonstop Indy to Seattle flight will launch on June 18, and will operate daily, departing IND at 6:15 p.m. and arriving in Seattle at 7:30 p.m. local time, IND reports. The returning flight is scheduled to depart Seattle at 10:10 a.m., arriving in Indianapolis at 5:40 p.m.

This second nonstop option to Seattle will launch just over a year after Alaska Airlines began its inaugural flight from IND to Seattle, the airport says.

Until recently, Seattle was one of the Indy airport’s top unserved markets, but the new Delta flight further enhances Indy’s connection with the West Coast, which has grown to an historical level over the past two years – connecting Indy’s rapidly expanding tech sector with new economic opportunities, IND says.

Delta’s service to Seattle also will also allow one-stop access to unserved markets in the West Coast, such as Spokane, Washington and San Jose, California.

In May 2018, Delta will launch the inaugural flight to Charles de Gaulle Airport in Paris – the first year-round nonstop European service from Indianapolis, and will also allow Hoosier and international businesses to access more than 100 destinations across Europe, Africa, the Middle East, and India.
