HONOLULU – Hawaiian Airlines flight attendants, who are represented by the Association of Flight Attendants – CWA (AFA-CWA), voted to ratify a nearly three-year contract extension, and the agreement passed by 88%. 

As Alaska Airlines and Hawaiian Airlines continue to integrate operations, this contract extension aligns the amendable dates for both contracts as the combined company works toward a joint collective bargaining agreement (JCBA). 

“We’re pleased to have reached this agreement with our flight attendants,” said Lokesh Amaranayaka, vice president of airport operations and inflight at Hawaiian Airlines. “In addition to ensuring the safety of our guests, our crews are known for the exceptional service they provide on every flight. We deeply value the role our flight attendants have in the success of our company, and this contract extension positions us well for the future of our combined airlines.”    

The previous contract was set to become amendable in April 2025. AFA-CWA’s Joint Negotiating Committee (JNC) and members from Alaska and Hawaiian’s labor relations team started negotiations in March for a new joint collective bargaining agreement for the more than 9,200 combined flight attendants.
