Schedule and connectivity was expanded by adding 21 new domestic routes in 2025, including non-stop service between San Francisco and both Kona and Lihue in Hawai’i, Portland to Houston, Anchorage to Sacramento and the first-ever non-stop service between San Diego and Washington National (DCA).
The two airlines carried more than 40,000 tons of cargo to and from remote communities across Alaska, Hawaiʻi and the Pacific region — the equivalent of over 400 fully loaded Boeing 737‑9 passenger aircraft — ensuring vital goods reached those who need them most.
Alaska Airlines installed complimentary Starlink earlier than planned on several of its Embraer E175, and Hawaiian Airlines guests embraced the service, streaming more than 177,095 hours over the year — the equivalent of streaming for 7,379 straight days or over 20 years. On average, about 200 devices were connected to the high-speed, low-latency service during each transpacific flight – even while traversing remote stretches of the Pacific.
Special liveries
