The US Department of Transportation (DOT) has approved the merger between Alaska Airlines and Hawaiian Airlines, but with conditions. The DOT requires the airlines to implement 'public-interest protections' to safeguard the value of their rewards programs. These protections include preserving existing miles, enabling a 1:1 transfer ratio between their programs, maintaining earned mile value, and prohibiting new 'junk fees'. The merger was initially announced last December but faced delays due to legal challenges alleging potential harm to the Hawaiian economy.
