Why Washington, DC Is The Next Big Transpacific Gateway

For decades, the United States West Coast has long dominated transpacific aviation, something which makes sense geographically. The region is, unsurprisingly, a natural bridge between Asia and North America. However, that long-standing norm is being quietly rewritten. Increasingly, airlines are looking towards serving Washington, D.C, with nonstop transpacific flights. The airport sits at the intersection of global diplomacy, defense, finance, and advanced technology. The area has something that few other East Coast cities can match, with a rare blend of premium corporate demand, political relevance, and an internationally-oriented population providing a strong customer base.
