They’ve already unified key systems: operating certificates, loyalty programs, and passenger service platforms, making travel smoother across apps, websites, and kiosks. The combined airline is boosting international access from Seattle while keeping Hawaiian’s brand strong for local flights. Though non-union roles are being phased out as milestones are met, the biggest challenge remains finalizing joint labor agreements for union workers—a process expected to wrap up in 6 to 24 months. Meanwhile, Hawaiian’s fleet is getting a fresh Alaska livery to fuel global expansion, blending brands strategically for maximum reach.
