TOKYO -- Japan Airlines on Sunday restarted daily service to Seattle for the first time since 1992, adding another major U.S. destination as it looks to cater to business travelers.

The airline will offer one flight per day from the Tokyo area's Narita Airport to Seattle, home to offices of Boeing, Amazon and Microsoft and a hub for codeshare partner Alaska Airlines.
