Alaska Air Cargo and Hawaiian Air Cargo have announced the launch of shared booking across their cargo networks.

This comes after both cargo carriers said earlier this year that they are continuing to co-locate operations and are adding new combined locations in Hawaii and the U.S. mainland.

"We're excited to introduce shared booking across our newly combined Alaska and Hawaiian cargo network," the carriers said in a joint statement.

"This seamless experience allows customers to book and track shipments to all our global destinations on a single Air Waybill (AWB)."

Alaska Air Cargo and Hawaiian Air Cargo said access to their combined network is determined by the origin of your shipment.

"For example, shipping your fresh shellfish from Ketchikan (KTN) to Sydney (SYD). Book your shipment with Alaska Air Cargo, and your shipment will be on a single Air Waybill (AWB) as it travels through our combined network."

It was noted that when shipping from Tokyo Narita (NRT) to Columbus (CMH) with Hawaiian Air Cargo, the carrier will manage all remaining arrangements.

"All shipments that originate on Alaska Air Cargo flights and continue on Hawaiian Airlines flights can be booked online or though the Alaska Air Cargo call center," the announcement said.

Shipments originating on Hawaiian Air Cargo flights and continuing on Alaska Airlines flights will continue to be booked through Hawaiian Air Cargo, which will manage the shared booking.  

The recent development comes after the carriers announced in September that Hawaiian Air Cargo has joined Alaska Airlines Cargo after Alaska and Hawaiian Airlines completed their merger.
