Alaska Airlines and Hawaiian Airlines have been progressing through their integration for more than a year. The two carriers finalized their merger in September 2024, and since then, significant steps have been taken toward full integration.
This summer, the US Department of Transportation approved Alaska Airlines and its parent company, Alaska Air Group, which also owns regional carrier Horizon Air, to assume Hawaiian Airlines’ operating certificates, international services, and codeshare approvals. Hawaiian has also begun integrating its fleet with Alaska Airlines, introducing a new Alaskan look on Hawaiian’s Boeing 787s . One of the more symbolic changes now underway is the transition of Hawaiian Airlines’ IATA code from the former HA to AS.
