Week of June 16, 2008

Beginning July 9, 2008, the U.S. military's chartered commercial air service, also known as Patriot Express, will begin regular B-747 bi-weekly round-trip service from Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, Wash., to Kadena Air Base, Okinawa and Yokota AB, Japan. The Patriot Express flights will run on a bi-weekly basis with about 100 more seats to each flight for every other week until the end of August 2008. Pet spaces increased to 24 per mission to accommodate passengers who have reservation commitments. The 18th Air Force Tanker Airlift Control Center set up a new schedule with the airlines, which is available through GATES, the Global Air Transportation Execution System.
