Alaska Airlines has elected Shane Tackett as president and chief financial officer, broadening his remit while he keeps the finance job. The move takes effect on 29 June 2026 and places commercial, finance, fleet, investor relations, supply chain, internal audit, and IT under one executive as the carrier pushes through Alaska Accelerate and Hawaiian integration.
Tackett has spent more than 25 years at Alaska and has served as CFO since 2020. He reports to CEO Ben Minicucci and stays on the executive committee, while the airline aligns leadership around profitable growth and a tighter operating model across Alaska, Hawaiian, and Horizon.
The appointment gives the group a more consolidated decision chain for integration execution.
