Hawaiian Airlines Just Drops A BOMBSHELL For Boeing 787 Order!
What do you think happens when two airlines with completely different business philosophies merge? Naturally, it brings unexpected changes that are impossible to avoid. A clear example is Alaska Air Group’s (AAG) acquisition of Hawaiian Airlines, where AAG decided to alter part of Hawaiian’s original order of ten Boeing 7 8 7 Dash Nines, converting it into five Dash Tens — a series of divided opinions broke out.
But why would AAG take such a daring step? How will this reshape the competitive landscape in the U.S. market? Let’s find out!

At first, Hawaiian Airlines’ choice of the 7 8 7 Dash 9 made perfect sense. In 20 18, Hawaiian Airlines, not yet part of Alaska Air Group (AAG), placed an order for 10 Boeing 7 8 7 Dash Nines, with options for 10 more. Two of those options were later exercised, raising the total to 12. With its superior range up to 7,635 nautical miles, the aircraft symbolized the ambition of an airline traditionally focused on Pacific routes to expand its network. It promised to carry passengers from Hawaii’s idyllic beaches to far-flung cities across the globe. But once AAG took over, priorities shifted. Its vision was not to expand from Hawaii, but from Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA), transforming it into a new international hub in direct competition with Delta Air Lines. Notably, in July this year, AAG—having acquired Hawaiian Airlines just a year earlier—ordered an additional five 7 8 7 Dash Nines. The plan was to base the entire 7 8 7 fleet in Seattle, launching Alaska Airlines’ new long-haul services to Europe and Asia.
The reason
But why the group make this bold move?

The first and most critical reason is that AAG doesn’t need the extended range of the Dash 9. The group has identified Seattle-Tacoma (SEA) as its strategic hub, the launch point for long-haul international routes. From Seattle, the Dash 10’s 6,330 nautical mile range is more than sufficient to reach every key market in Asia—including Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and China’s coastal cities—as well as all of Europe. For example, a nonstop flight from Seattle to Seoul covers roughly 5,200 nautical miles, while Seattle to Tokyo is just about 4,700. Even longer routes to European destinations such as London or Rome fall well within the Dash 10’s reach. That extra 1,200 nautical miles offered by the Dash 9 simply becomes unnecessary baggage. In aviation, every unused mile translates into hidden costs—excess fuel weight, higher maintenance, and wasted resources.
