Hawaiian Airlines is planning to hire over 200 employees to fly and service its new West Coast routes previously flown by its parent carrier Alaska Airlines.

Alaska leadership is committing to preserving the iconic Hawaiian Airlines brand, but only on certain flights to The Aloha State.

Next year, Hawaiian’s Airbus A330-200 aircraft will begin operating flights from Seattle to Asia and Alaska, with more routes coming.

In its latest network shake-up, Alaska will deploy Hawaiian’s widebody aircraft on long-haul flights from its Seattle hub.

The recently-merged Alaska and Hawaiian airline duo plans to move operations at five additional airports in the coming months.

A spokesperson from Hawaiian Airlines confirmed the planned 2025 service exit in a statement to AirlineGeeks on Thursday.

An airline spokesperson said that these eliminations are ‘primarily for duplicative, noncontract operations support roles at airports.’

Alaska Airlines has finalized its acquisition of Hawaiian Airlines less than a year after the deal was initially announced.

The DOT has issued an order granting Alaska Airlines an exemption that allows for the carrier’s merger with Hawaiian Airlines to move forward.

The Department of Justice (DOJ)’s deadline to review the proposed merger between Alaska Airlines and Hawaiian Airlines expired early Tuesday morning.
