Alaska Airlines gains cargo momentum from Hawaiian integration
Alaska Airlines has already surpassed initial cargo volume targets since launching its first international widebody service, from Seattle to Tokyo Narita airport, on May 12 as the company continues to reap the fruits of its September merger with Hawaiian Airlines, executives said Thursday during a quarterly earnings presentation. Alaska Air (NASDAQ: ALK) is operating daily nonstop service to Tokyo with Boeing 787-9 passenger jets from Hawaiian's fleet. Carrying cargo in the lower deck is driving the equivalent of 30 passenger seats worth of revenue per flight, according to management. The Alaska Air Group reported $136 million in cargo revenue during the second quarter, a 34% increase from the same period in 2024. The revenue gains include the Alaska Airlines, Hawaiian Airlines and Amazon cargo lines of business as compared to those three business units before the merger. Legacy Alaska Air Cargo second-quarter revenue increased 15% to $80 million. The carrier has effectively backfilled most of the cargo volume displaced by repositioning the 787s from Honolulu to Seattle, according to the company. Meanwhile, Alaska brought into service the final two of 10 Airbus A330 converted freighters operating under contract with Amazon to support its package delivery network. The Amazon business was inherited from Hawaiian Airlines, which began flying for the online retailer in late 2023. Alaska Airlines and Amazon are both based in Seattle. The acquisition of Hawaiian Airlines for $1.9 billion gave Alaska Airlines access to widebody aircraft for the first time and more cargo capacity on domestic and international routes. In the nine months since Alaska Airlines combined with Hawaiian Airlines, the air cargo teams have worked to integrate their operations and systems, and improve processes for customers shipping to more than 130 cargo destinations. 'We're bullish on where we can go with this as we combine the two networks,' said Jason Berry, who heads Alaska's cargo business and also serves as president of regional subsidiary Horizon Air. Alaska will begin passenger and cargo service from the Seattle gateway to Seoul, South Korea, on Sept. 12 and launch its first transatlantic route to Rome next May. Alaska Air Cargo in late March introduced sharing booking across the combined Alaska and Hawaiian cargo network. Shipments that originate on Alaska Air and continue on Hawaiian Airlines, or vice versa, can now be booked and tracked by customers on a single air waybill. Alaska is also working to co-locate cargo operations at stations served by both Alaska and Hawaiian, allowing customers to pick up and drop off shipments at a single location. Stations at New York JFK and Seattle, for example, were combined in early this year, according to company announcements. Three of six daily nonstop flights between Seattle and Honolulu now operate with Airbus A330 Hawaiian widebody jets, offering increased cargo capacity. Alaska Airlines has also increased capacity for the Alaska fishing season — which runs from June 12 until Aug. 15 — by deploying A330 aircraft between Seattle and Anchorage twice daily to take advantage of the aircraft's larger belly hold. Overall, Alaska Air beat analysts' expectations on the top and bottom lines, with revenue of $3.7 billion (up 2.1%) and earnings per share of $1.78 versus a consensus prediction of $1.44. Solid demand, especially in the premium segment, CEO Ben Minicucci noted that the Hawaiian Airlines segment produced a quarterly profit for the first time since 2019, underscoring the power of combining the two carriers. Repositioning more A330 passenger jets to fly from Seattle to Honolulu and Anchorage has maximized asset utilization and improved the bottom line, he said.

Here's Why Titleist & Pinehurst Teamed For Fitting/Retail Experience
The new Titleist Shop at Pinehurst (middle, behind tree) will be located adjacent to the resort's ... More main clubhouse, driving range and Thistle Dhu putting course. Titleist announced plans to open an immersive fitting and retail experience at Pinehurst Resort in a move that marries two of golf's most iconic brands. The partnership builds on decades of collaboration between one of the game's most trusted and popular equipment manufacturers and the celebrated destination property known as the Cradle of American Golf. Opening in September, the Titleist Shop at Pinehurst will be located at the current Don Padgett Learning Center, just steps from the resort's main driving range and the 18th green of the crown jewel No. 2 course, and will offer dedicated fitting services to both resort guests and day visitors. More than just another golf retail outlet, the forthcoming addition is a testament to the continued modern evolution of the 130-year-old property in the North Carolina Sandhills. And for Titleist, which has long enjoyed the recreational trickle-down effect of having the No. 1 golf ball in professional golf for 77 years, it's a strategic expansion into experiential retail at an immensely popular resort that's a global draw and boasts a whopping 189 holes of golf (and counting). "Pinehurst and Titleist have proven over time to be an ideal pairing, where a timeless setting for the game meets the finest tools needed to help players reach their greatest heights," said Eric Kuester, Pinehurst Resort's Executive Vice President of Sales and Marketing. The location for the new Titleist Shop at Padgett Center is located adjacent to the main driving ... More range and clubhouse at Pinehurst Resort. The announcement comes at a time when Pinehurst is undergoing its most dramatic expansion since its founding in 1895. The resort recently unveiled Pinehurst No. 10 at its new Sandmines property and is starting construction this year on its No. 11 course that's expected to open in Fall 2027. Both courses, designed by renowned architects Tom Doak (No. 10) and the team of Bill Coore and Ben Crenshaw (No. 11), sit on a 900-acre property a few minutes down the road from the main clubhouse that the resort had owned for over a decade before starting development. In addition to the new championship courses, Pinehurst's expanded vision for the future of destination golf also includes a new clubhouse, restaurant, on-site lodging and potentially another short course and putting course. Meanwhile, the new Titleist experiential location, which will be known as the Titleist Shop at Padgett Center, will be located in the heart of the resort – easily accessible from the main clubhouse as well as the practice facility, the Cradle Par-3 course, and the sprawling Thistle Dhu putting green. It will likely open later this year and offer recreational golfers the same fitting technology and expertise relied upon by tour pros. Pinehurst is a USGA anchor site for the U.S. Open, with both the men's and women's U.S. Opens returning to the resort in 2029. Map of the Pinehurst Resort's main property, with the location for the forthcoming Titleist Shop at ... More Pinehurst. 'We are thrilled to be working with a destination as historic as Pinehurst on this venture,' said Jeremy Stone, Titleist's Senior Vice President of Golf Ball Marketing & U.S. Sales. 'Pinehurst delivers an incredible guest experience from start to finish. Our goal is to add to that by offering dedicated golfers a one-of-a-kind product experience and storefront that accentuates the best of both brands.' While Titleist's Pinehurst venture breaks new ground for the brand, other equipment manufacturers have taken a similar approach with immersive destination experiences. TaylorMade, for example, operates The Kingdom at Reynolds Lake Oconee in Georgia, offering club fitting and instruction services to resort guests and members.

CBS News names veteran producer Tanya Simon to lead ‘60 Minutes'
While '60 Minutes' will soon have a new owner, the CBS newsmagazine's next executive producer is coming from inside the family. Tanya Simon, a 25-year veteran of the program, will take on the role vacated by Bill Owens in April. She has served as interim executive producer since his departure. She is the daughter of the late Bob Simon, one of the best known correspondents during the program's 57 year history. Changes at the top of '60 Minutes' have been rare. Simon will be only the fourth executive producer in the program's history and the first woman. Simon's appointment will be a relief to the program's staff, where morale has been rocked by parent company Paramount Global's battle with President Trump. The correspondents of the program signed a letter to company co-chairman George Cheeks urging him to give Simon the job. Simon will have the backing of her colleagues who are thankful they won't be dealing with an outsider who might not value the program's editorial rigor and independence. But she will be faced with the challenge of navigating the operation after one of the most difficult periods in its history. Paramount Global agreed to pay $16 million to settle Trump's lawsuit against '60 Minutes' over the editing of an interview with his 2024 opponent, then-Vice President Kamala Harris. Trump claimed the interviews was deceptively edited to aid Harris in the election. The case was labeled as frivolous by 1st Amendment experts and the settlement widely seen as a capitulation to Trump in order to clear a path for Paramount's $8-billion merger with David Ellison's Skydance Media. While '60 Minutes' did not issue an apology or acknowledge any wrongdoing, the program is likely to face intense scrutiny going forward. Critics will be looking for signs of the program pulling its punches in reporting on Trump. In order to clear the Paramount Global deal with the FCC, Skydance has agreed to name a news division ombudsman that will report to the company's president for at least the next two years. 'Tanya Simon understands what makes '60 Minutes' tick,' CBS News President Tom Cibrowski said in. a statement 'She is an innovative leader, an exceptional producer, and someone who knows how to inspire people,' ' Simon got her start at CBS News in 1996 as a researcher for its other newsmagazine '48 Hours.' She joined '60 Minutes' in 2000, working with correspondent Ed Bradley on a variety of reports including the 9/11 terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center. She went on to produce for nearly all of the program's correspondents including her father. Her work has earned virtually every major broadcast honor, including multiple Emmy Awards, the Peabody and the DuPont-Columbia Award.
