Hawaiian Airlines plans to lay off 48 employees as it continues its integration with parent company Alaska Air Group.
In a filing with Hawaii’s Department of Labor and Industrial Relations, the carrier said it will cut 41 positions at its corporate headquarters, three at its air cargo hangar, and four at Honolulu International Airport. Officials cited the merger with Alaska as the reason for the layoffs.
The cuts will take effect in May and June. None of the affected workers are represented by a labor union, Hawaiian said.
According to past filings with the state, Hawaiian carried out two rounds of layoffs in 2025. The first, announced in January of that year and scheduled to take effect in March, cut 61 positions, while the second, announced in July and effective in September, reduced the company’s headcount by around 252.
In both cases, the layoffs applied to non-union workers and were attributed to the Alaska merger.
Alaska officially closed its acquisition of Hawaiian in September 2024. The airlines received a single operating certificate in October 2025, allowing for further integration of operations.
Alaska has said it will maintain the Hawaiian brand and keep Hawaiian’s leadership in Honolulu.
