Alaska Airlines has completed its acquisition of Hawaiian Airlines, creating a stronger and more competitive airline network in the Pacific Northwest and Hawaii. The merger will bring expanded benefits and more choice for travelers, including a larger route network, increased frequency on key routes, and the ability to earn and redeem miles on both carriers. The transaction was approved by the U.S. Department of Transportation and the Federal Communications Commission. The combined airline will operate under the Alaska Airlines name and will be led by Alaska Airlines CEO Ben Minicucci.
