Alaska Airlines Flight AS77 Diverted to Cleveland Hopkins International Airport

Alaska Airlines Flight AS77 made an unexpected stop at Cleveland Hopkins International Airport on August 1, 2026. The Boeing 737-990(ER) aircraft was supposed to fly from Seattle-Tacoma International Airport to Pittsburgh International Airport overnight, but the crew changed course while approaching the East Coast.

The flight landed safely in Ohio instead of completing its scheduled route. According to domestic flight schedules, AS77 departed SEA at 10:37 PM local time and was expected to arrive at PIT at 6:10 AM the next morning. However, the crew modified their flight path while approaching the East Coast.

Cleveland Hopkins serves as a primary alternate diversion hub for long-haul commercial aircraft due to its runway length and terminal services. The airport's operations logs show that it is frequently used in such situations.
