HONOLULU (HawaiiNewsNow) - Hawaiian Airlines made its final flight using its own callsign on Wednesday. Hawaiian flights are designated by the callsign of HA, followed by the flight number, which pilots use to communicate with air traffic control.

Despite the change, Alaska Airlines assures passengers that it plans to keep several aspects of the Hawaiian Airlines experience.

Hawaiian Airlines is closing a defining chapter in its 96-year history today as it retires its “HA” callsign and flight designator, which have long been recognized by pilots, controllers and travelers worldwide.
