Hawaii Airfares Set to Rise as Capacity Falls (theaviationhub.co.uk)

Mainland-to-Hawaii seat capacity is projected to fall more than 4% in the second quarter of 2027 after slowing to 1.9% growth in the first quarter. Alaska Airlines is seeing double-digit year-on-year unit revenue gains on early 2027 Hawaii bookings, and its chief commercial officer Andrew Harrison cited that improvement for January and February travel. The carrier reported a $147 million quarterly loss on 21 October and a 13.4% third-quarter passenger yield increase network-wide, while suspending or ending routes including Paine Field-to-Honolulu, San Jose-to-Lihue and Portland-to-Lihue.
