I'm encouraged by the impending lounge plans at HA, which were being pursued prior to the AS acquisition. With the new lounge opening in 2027 and AS's push to double down on the premium experience, it all adds to the value for me. IROPS are not fun at any airline and I suspect AS will bering their "running a hub airline" experience to the operation at HA, which IMO struggles as a hub airline at times. It's also difficult for HA due to geography and size when IROPS happen. It's difficult to reset when flights are so long and far away. Inter-island IROPS, while rare, are much easier to recover.
