Alaska Airlines and Hawaiian Airlines have introduced a shared booking system for their cargo services, following their merger that was finalized in September 2024. The integration allows customers to ship items using the networks of either airline and to track their shipments on a single airway bill (AWB).

Alaska Air Cargo states that while the integration of cargo operations is ongoing, the shared booking system has already been implemented. This development enables shipments to be combined on a single AWB for items traveling across the integrated network, enhancing the efficiency of shipping fresh items such as shellfish from Ketchikan International Airport to Sydney Airport. The same streamlined process is applied to routes starting from airports served by Hawaiian Airlines.

However, customers are advised that shipments originating on Alaska Airlines flights must be booked via Alaska Air Cargo, whereas those originating from Hawaiian Airlines flights should be booked through Hawaiian Air Cargo.

Alaska Air Cargo and Hawaiian Air Cargo are co-locating their operations at multiple U.S. airports, with plans to establish more shared facilities throughout the year. Among the initial co-location sites are Honolulu Daniel K. Inouye International Airport, Kahului Airport, and Kona International Airport, with an additional location at Portland International Airport expected to open on June 23.

The merger, approved by the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) in September 2024, included provisions to protect essential air services, particularly concerning critical interisland routes in Hawaii and service to rural communities. Former DOT Secretary Pete Buttigieg emphasized that these binding protections aimed to secure essential services for both passengers and cargo.

Alaska Airlines operates four converted Boeing 737 freighters, while Hawaiian Airlines has nine converted Airbus A330 freighters, both airlines providing cargo services in conjunction with their passenger operations.
