United Airlines is concerned about the impact a merger of Alaska Airlines and Hawaiian Airlines might have on its cooperation agreements with the latter carrier
Hawaiian and Alaska first announced an agreement to merge on Dec. 3, 2023, retaining both brands, with Hawaiian surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of Alaska.
Hawaiian has operated its first commercial flight using the Starlink onboard Wi-Fi system, and also became the first major carrier to deploy this product.
American Airlines has received tentative approval to launch nonstop service between New York JFK and Haneda Airport, while Hawaiian is stopping night flights to the Tokyo airport.
