Alaska Airlines to start B737-800 Hawaiian ops in early 4Q26
Starting October 3, 2026, Alaska Airlines (AS, Seattle Tacoma International) will introduce a B737-800 daily on select Honolulu-Kahului flights, supplementing subsidiary Hawaiian Airlines’ Neighbour Island capacity, which is currently served with the carrier’s B717-200 fleet.

Starting October 3, 2026, Alaska Airlines (AS, Seattle Tacoma International) will introduce a B737-800 daily on select Honolulu-Kahului flights, supplementing subsidiary Hawaiian Airlines’ Neighbour Island capacity, which is currently served with the carrier’s B717-200 fleet.
This is the first step in Alaska Airlines’ plan to retire Hawaiian’s B717 fleet in 2028 and transition to a B737 island service.
“The additional B737 flights between Honolulu and Kahului will provide more passenger and cargo capacity while helping maintain the frequency, reliability, and connectivity,” Alaska Airlines said in a statement.
ch-aviation fleets data shows Alaska Air Group operates nineteen B717-200s, with an average age of 24.7 years. It is one of two operators of the type globally, the other being Delta Air Lines. Alaska Airlines operates fifty-nine B737-800s, aged 18.5 years on average.

The United States Air Force is acquiring a VIP-configured B737-8 using USD250 million budgeted under the fiscal 2026 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), covering the period between October 1, 2025, and September 30, 2026, to expand the service's C-40 fleet based on the B737-700(BBJ). The...
The United States Air Force is acquiring a VIP-configured B737-8 using USD250 million budgeted under the fiscal 2026 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), covering the period between October 1, 2025, and September 30, 2026, to expand the service's C-40 fleet based on the B737-700(BBJ). The aircraft will become the first military variant of the type and will be acquired directly through Boeing. While no delivery timeline has been set, Air Mobility Command posted a solicitation in July for training services to support the induction and operation of a B737-8 as an urgent requirement. The contract is expected to take effect on November 1.
The air force operates a total of thirteen C-40s: four C-40Bs and nine C-40Cs. Plans to replace them with MAX aircraft had previously been blocked. In 2025, the service explored acquiring B737-9s, which were expected to be designated as the C-40D, to expand the current fleet of four B757-200(C-32A)s. The contract award was scheduled for September 2025, with delivery expected in August 2028, using USD329 million allocated under the fiscal 2025 NDAA.

The government of Canada is proposing to include business aircraft acquired on or after September 15, 2026, among the assets eligible for 100% depreciation. Previously, owners could deduct 25% of an aircraft's value each year. Under the measure, which forms part of what Prime Minister Mark Carney described as a “productivity mega deduction” for the country's economy, aircraft must be ready for operation, while deductions for aircraft still under completion or refurbishment will roll over to the year they are ready to fly. Pre-owned aircraft also qualify.
