New Gateway connects French Polynesia to Paris
SEATTLE – Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA) welcomes its latest new international service with Tahiti Nui’s 787-9 Dreamliner inaugural service today from Seattle to Paris (CDG). After becoming SEA’s first connection to French Polynesia in October, Air Tahiti Nui is now connecting Seattle to Paris in new year-round, twice weekly service. A water turret salute on the ramp and a ribbon cutting event in the terminal officially kicked off the first flight to the European continent. In partnership with Alaska Airlines, Air Tahiti Nui becomes the first and only carrier offering nonstop flights connecting the South Pacific and the Pacific Northwest and now Paris. “We are very excited Air Tahiti Nui is launching their second new international service from SEA, only eight months since we first welcomed their initial launch from the Pacific Northwest to Tahiti,” said Arif Ghouse, SEA Airport Chief Operating Officer. “This new service provides an additional option for travelers between Metropolitan France and French Polynesia. And, of course, we say to those travelers - Don’t forget Seattle! Stop along your way!" |

2022 Charlotte Douglas International Airport Report of Achievement
Giving back to the community is central to what Charlotte Douglas International Airport and its operator, the City of Charlotte Aviation Department, is about, and last year was no different.
Throughout 2022, while recovering from the COVID-19 pandemic, we continued our efforts to have a positive impact on the Charlotte community. Of particular note, we spent the year sharing stories of how Connections Don't Just Happen at the Terminal - from creating homeownership and employment opportunities to supporting economic growth through small-business development and offering outreach programs to help residents understand the Airport better.
This whitepaper highlights the construction projects, initiatives, programs and events that validate Charlotte Douglas as a premier airport.
