Following the merger between Alaska Airlines and Hawaiian Airlines, changes in flight routes are being implemented. Hawaiian Airlines will cease its non-stop flights between Austin-Bergstrom International Airport (AUS) and Daniel K. Inouye International Airport (HNL) in Honolulu by March 2025. This route, operational since 2021, has served over 230,000 passengers.

KXAN reported this development with a statement from a Hawaiian spokesperson: "As we begin the exciting work to integrate our combined networks to offer our guests more flights and connections to more cities, we are making some initial adjustments to a few routes."

The airline plans to repurpose its Airbus A330-200 aircraft used on this route as part of a network reshuffling program. Austin airport confirmed the end of this service on its official X account and assured that passengers can still fly between Austin and Honolulu through connecting flights offered by five other domestic airlines serving the airport.

This decision is part of broader changes following the Alaska-Hawaiian merger aimed at optimizing flight offerings. Hawaiian previously announced it would discontinue flights between Kahului Airport (OGG) on Maui and San Diego International Airport (SAN), a route it has operated for decades. Alaska Airlines will be the sole carrier for this route after June 12, when it adds a second daily frequency.

Additionally, Hawaiian will replace its Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner with an A330 for flights between Honolulu and Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport (PHX) starting April 2025.

The merger was officially announced in September with plans to integrate loyalty programs next year under conditions set by the Department of Transportation. Over 70 non-contract workers from Hawaiian did not receive offers to continue with the merged company.
