The move follows Alaska Air Group's takeover of Hawaiian, and signals how the combined carrier plans to modernize and integrate service between the islands. Travelers and industry watchers are watching what the fleet changes mean for frequencies, capacity and competition in the Hawaiian market.

Alaska Airlines and Hawaiian Airlines have introduced Aurora and Leihōkū, new branding aimed at elevating the premium travel experience from curb to cabin. The announcement includes a new Premium Reserve cabin class and investments in the core guest experience across both carriers.
