Alaska Airlines Completes $1.9 Billion Acquisition of Hawaiian Airlines

The merger, approved by the Department of Transportation, includes consumer protections and maintains both brands.

Alaska Airlines and Hawaiian Airlines will operate independently until they secure a single operating certificate from the FAA.
The merger agreement includes maintaining current service levels on key routes and preserving loyalty program benefits.
Alaska Airlines will assume approximately $900 million in Hawaiian Airlines debt as part of the deal.
The Department of Transportation's approval came with conditions to protect consumers, including compensation for delays and cancellations.
The combined airline will offer nearly 1,500 daily flights and serve 141 direct destinations, including 29 international markets.
