After its acquisition of Hawaiian Airlines, Alaska aims to "transform our business and solidify our competitive advantage for years to come,” its CEO says.

Alaska Air Group, which is the combined Alaska Air and Hawaiian Airlines, unveiled its vision for the combined company this week, called Alaska Accelerate, as it expands routes and projects Alaska Air to earn more than previously expected for the last quarter of the year.

For the better part of the past century, Alaska Airlines has focused on ferrying travelers across a relatively narrow slice of the US. It’s now thinking much bigger.
