In September 2024, Hawaiian Airlines completed its merger with Alaska Airlines, subsequently joining the Alaska Air Group. Following this integration, oneworld common services are now seamlessly extended in collaboration with Alaska Airlines, a current member of the oneworld alliance.

Regardless of travel class, oneworld elite members will receive privileges including priority check-in, lounge access, and priority security screening when flying on Hawaiian Airlines flights (operated by Alaska Airlines). Approximately 700 premium lounges worldwide are accessible to customers, including dedicated oneworld lounges in Amsterdam and Seoul/Incheon Airport.

Aligned with the Alaska Airlines integration, Hawaiian Airlines flight numbers transitioned to Alaska Airlines flight codes effective April 21st. However, the Hawaiian Airlines brand will be preserved. While maintaining its iconic aircraft livery, island-inspired inflight services, and the distinctive warmth of its cabin crew, the expanded oneworld network will dramatically elevate the customer convenience.

As of 2025, Hawaiian Airlines operates around 230 daily flights to, from, and within the Hawaiian Islands, serving more than 11 million passengers annually. Its extensive network connects Pacific destinations such as Hilo, Hawai’i; Rarotonga, Cook Islands; Pago Pago, American Samoa; and Papeete, Tahiti, linking key oneworld hubs including Los Angeles, New York-JFK, Seattle, Sydney, Nadi (Fiji), and Tokyo.
