Alaska Air Group has announced an expansion of their Military Technician Transition Program to include new civilian career pathways at Hawaiian Airlines.
On Wednesday (April 8, 2026), Alaska Airlines announced an expansion of their Military Technician Transition Program (MTTP) for future careers at Hawaiian Airlines and their Seattle maintenance base. Qualified military servicemembers are invited to apply to Alaska Airlines’ Military Technician Transition Program for future careers at Hawaiian Airlines and their Seattle maintenance base. The program offers a direct pathway to FAA A&P licensure and a long‑term technician career with the Group. Prospective MTTP applicants can apply now through May 31, 2026 by clicking here.
In Wednesday’s announcement, Alaska Airlines’ Director – Talent Acquisition Outreach, Deja Hubbard, said,
“This program has been tremendously successful on two fronts: supporting military members while prioritizing our need for highly skilled and motivated maintenance professionals. By bringing Hawaiian Airlines into the program, we’re expanding opportunities for military personnel and veterans to build well-paying, long-term civilian careers.”
Transitioning from military service to a civilian career can often be challenging. Alaska Airlines’ Military Technician Transition Program (MTTP) works to steady that journey by offering military personnel a clear, supported path toward long-term technician roles with Alaska Airlines, Horizon Air and now, for the first time, Hawaiian Airlines. The program offers servicemembers the opportunity to support the combined carrier’s global growth while working on state‑of‑the‑art aircraft, including the Boeing 787 Dreamliner.
First launched in 2025, Alaska’s MTTP program has since transitioned 10 active-duty service members and veterans into fulfilling aviation careers across the company. The program plays a critical role in enabling Alaska, the fourth‑largest global carrier in the U.S., to maintain the highest safety standards.
