Alaska Airlines has announced several new routes, including a service between Honolulu and Ontario, California. The airline will also introduce flights from Anchorage to Sacramento and Detroit, as well as from Portland to Fairbanks.
Hawaiian Airlines currently operates the Honolulu to Ontario route with daily Airbus A321neo flights. However, starting June 12, Alaska Airlines will operate flight HA7271 under Hawaiian Airlines' designator code. "The Alaska Airlines operated flight is scheduled to depart at 13:20 local time (UTC -10)," according to the announcement.
Data indicates that since Hawaiian Airlines resumed the Honolulu-Ontario route in March 2021, it has been the sole operator. Previously, American Trans Air served this itinerary until December 2007.
