Hawaiian Airlines has done away with its GDS surcharge, as expected. Also, Hawaiian's interisland flights are once again available to book in legacy GDSs.
The moves, implemented May 1, are part of the merger integration between Alaska Airlines and Hawaiian. Alaska Air Group completed its acquisition of Hawaiian last September. Alaska Airlines has never had a GDS surcharge.
"We continue to identify areas across our combined organization that ensure we're delivering on our promises of increased benefits and greater value for our guests and partners," said a Hawaiian spokeswoman.
Hawaiian’s $7 GDS surcharge had been in effect since 2022, which is also when it removed interisland flights from GDS booking channels without New Distribution Capability (NDC).
