The Last Hawaiian Airlines Flight

It’s the end of an era: the last Hawaiian Airlines flight before the completion of a merger with Alaska Airlines.

Flight HA866 will operate from Pago Pago to Honolulu, with a 0540 scheduled arrival time at the airline’s home base on Wednesday, 29 October 2025, a spokesperson confirmed to Airlinegeeks. The service will depart Pago Pago at 2310 local time on Tuesday, 28 October 2025.

From this point forward, while Hawaiian Airlines will continue to operate, it will no longer do so with its own operating certificate; instead, it will operate under the Alaska Airlines umbrella.

As a result of this point forward, the HA call sign will be retired, and the airlines will instead operate under a single call sign, AS, placed before the associated flight number for the service, marking a new era.

Specific details of the flight will see HA866 end 95 years of operation under the existing callsign, but for customers, not much will change: all existing tickets will remain valid, and the transition from HA to AS will be automatic.

N370HA will get the honour of operating the final flight; this Airbus A330-200 was delivered to Hawaiian Airlines in April 2014 and named Kuamo’o.

Through a Federal Aviation Administration filing, the message was clear that, effective 30 October 2025, the use of the Hawaiian Airlines ICAO three-letter designation HAL and callsign Hawaiian will cease and be cancelled.

As a result of this ruling, all HAL and Hawaiian aircraft will begin flying under ICAO 3LD and the call sign ASA/ALASKA. However, the FAA noted that in the flight plan remarks for 60, there’ll be a “Hawaiian livery’ noted.

In October, reporting emerged that the iconic HA code would be removed from the airline’s flights as of April 22, 2026, and that Aeroroutes would flag schedule adjustments on flight numbers commencing October 26, 2025.

That change would result in operating flight numbers, such as HA451/H452 from Honolulu to Sydney, temporarily switching to HA851/852, with the same adjustment across other routes in the airline’s operations.

Hawaiian Airlines Changes

HA has been a staple for close to a century now and has not only represented the airline but also the people of Hawaii. However, with Alaska Airlines’ integration, the business is becoming streamlined, and as a result, change is coming.

While the 787 livery is getting a refresh and the HA code is disappearing, Alaska Airlines has, for the moment, remained committed to continuing to the Hawaiian Airlines brand despite the common theme of integration for mergers like these, removing the brand being taken over to ensure a more efficient operation.

Brand retention will be for flights operating to and from the islands, as well as between them; however, Alaska Airlines plans to leverage Seattle as a new West Coast gateway with the Boeing 787.

Moving forward, Alaska Airlines hopes to utilise these Dreamliners and, soon, Boeing 787-10s to expand its international presence from this part of the United States and reach markets in Europe and Asia.

This change follows a USD 1.9 billion deal between the two companies. After many roadblocks needed to be cleared, the businesses have been attempting to integrate their operations.

Additionally, one of Alaska Airlines’ focal points has been obtaining a single operating certificate from the FAA, which it has been working toward to streamline day-to-day operations.
