Alaska and Hawaiian Airlines Align Operations at LAX and JFK

Alaska and Hawaiian Airlines Align Operations at LAX and JFK

Alaska and Hawaiian Airlines are integrating airport spaces across several key airports as part of a network-wide initiative aimed at streamlining operations and delivering a more seamless and efficient travel experience.

Hawaiian’s co-location efforts involve moving its gates, ticket counters and other airport resources next to Alaska’s — with some locations featuring fully shared spaces between the two airlines.

Hawaiian Airlines Joins Alaska at LAX and JFK

Today, Hawaiian Airlines check-in operations have moved to Terminal 6 at Los Angeles International Airport, co-locating with Alaska Airlines to offer guests quicker and easier access between gates, counters and baggage claim.

Hawaiian also launched operations today at Terminal 8 at New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport as part of a months-long transition from Terminal 4. This strategic move enhances connectivity with Alaska’s oneworld alliance partners, including American Airlines and British Airways.

By October, both Alaska and Hawaiian will be fully consolidated at Terminal 8 as Alaska transitions from its current location at Terminal 7.

In addition, thanks to the partnership with American Airlines, First Class guests on both Alaska and Hawaiian Airlines enjoy access to the Admirals Club at JFK’s Terminal 8 – providing a comfortable and premium travel experience. Hawaiian Airlines guests booked in the First Class cabin also have access to American’s Greenwich Flagship Lounge.

Progress so far and what’s next

The co-location initiative began last year with Hawaiian relocating next to Alaska in the newly renovated Harvey Milk Terminal 1 at San Francisco International Airport, followed by Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport.

In addition to Los Angeles, JFK, Phoenix and San Francisco, Alaska and Hawaiian plan to co-locate in Sacramento, Salt Lake City and Las Vegas, with completion expected later this year.
