With much of the US airline industry seeking but not finding profitability, Alaska Air Group reports a second-quarter profit of $220 million as the carrier’s premium offerings set it apart from struggling discounters.
The major US carrier’s profits increased 23% to $1.32 billion during the second quarter, driven by diverse revenue sources and what it expects to be the “best unit revenue performance” among its major airline peers.
The carriers are requesting the transfer of Hawaiian’s international route authority to potential parent company Alaska Air Group.
