This merger could be good news for Boeing. Alaska recently phased out the last of the Airbus A321’s they acquired when they took over Virgin America and Hawaiian is already buying new 787 Dreamliners to replace its A330’s. With Alaska’s stated preference to be an all-Boeing company, I could see them replacing Hawaiian’s A321’s with new 737 MAX’s and even acquiring the 787 for their own fleet to expand the combined company’s service to Asia.
Good points.
