HONOLULU – Alaska Airlines today announced the promotion of Alisa Onishi to managing director of Hawai‘i marketing. Based in Honolulu, Onishi will lead brand marketing and guest experience enhancements for Hawaiian Airlines, while also advancing Hawaiian and Alaska Airlines' multi-brand strategy – the first such model in the U.S. industry.
