As of April 22, 2026, Hawaiian Airlines has retired its historic 'HA' IATA designator code, replacing it with Alaska Airlines' 'AS' code for all flight numbers, marking a major step in the post-merger integration

## Summary

Hawaiian Airlines officially retired its two-letter IATA designator code 'HA' on April 22, 2026, replacing it with Alaska Airlines' 'AS' code across all operations. This follows a two-step process: first, flight numbers were renumbered to the 800-1299 range in October 2025; second, the code itself was switched. The 'HA' code had been in continuous use since 1929. Despite the code change, Hawaiian maintains its distinct brand identity, including crew announcements and branding on aircraft. This milestone signifies that the Alaska-Hawaiian integration is approximately three-quarters complete, with the remaining major task being joint collective bargaining agreements for work groups, targeted for completion by 2027. Hawaiian Airlines also joined the oneworld alliance on this same date

## Why it matters
