Alaska Airlines’ statement on extension of the AS+HA acquisition regulatory review period

Since January of this year, Alaska Airlines and Hawaiian Airlines have been cooperatively engaged with the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) as it reviews the proposed combination of our two airlines. Earlier this year, the parties agreed to extend the time period the DOJ had to review the proposed transaction to August 5, 2024. Our airlines have mutually agreed with the DOJ on a brief extension of the formal review period until August 15. We continue to believe this combination will enable a stronger platform for growth and competition in the United States, long-term job opportunity for employees, and continued investment in local communities and environmental stewardship. We will continue to cooperate with the DOJ in this review process.
