Following its merger with Alaska Air Group, Hawaiian Airlines is relocating terminals at major U.S. hub airports. This move aims to optimize alignment with Alaska Airlines' operations and improve integration for onward connections with Alaska's oneworld alliance partners.

Hawaiian Airlines has been focusing on terminal relocations from Los Angeles to New York City. At large hub airports, this can be a complex process due to Alaska Airlines also transitioning from its prior terminals to consolidate operations.

In New York, Hawaiian Airlines and Alaska Airlines are consolidating at JFK Airport. Hawaiian Airlines now operates from Terminal 8 at JFK, having moved from Terminal 4. This transition began at the end of the previous month. Terminal 8 is also used by American Airlines and British Airways, Alaska Airlines’ oneworld partners. Alaska Airlines plans to vacate Terminal 7 by October, and first-class passengers can access American Airlines' lounges at JFK. Shane Jones, SVP of Fleet, Revenue Products & Real Estate at Alaska Airlines, stated, "The new long-term lease at Terminal 8 and our resulting move strengthen our commitment to enhancing the guest experience, improving employee spaces, and driving better economic outcomes for our JFK operation."

Similarly, in Los Angeles, Hawaiian Airlines has relocated to Terminal 6 at LAX, moving from Terminal B due to construction projects. Both Hawaiian and Alaska Airlines are now operating from Terminal 6, making terminal access easier for passengers. Hawaiian Airlines' previous location at Terminal B required lengthy walks for passengers, a point of dissatisfaction which the new arrangement addresses. Alaska Airlines highlighted that the new setup provides "quicker and easier access between gates, counters, and baggage claim."

According to KHON2, the move to Terminal 6 at LAX has been positively received by passengers, suggesting a more seamless travel experience. Cirium, an aviation analytics company, states that Hawaiian Airlines operates one flight daily to and from JFK, originating from its main hub in Honolulu. The airline uses Airbus A330 and Boeing 787 jets for these flights, with the former being utilized for approximately two-thirds of the routes.

Los Angeles is a key destination for Hawaiian Airlines, with 400 flights planned for April 2025. These flights include rotations from Honolulu, Kona, Lihue, and Maui, underscoring the city's importance within Hawaiian Airlines' network.
