From what I have read there is now 1 airline operating certificate, with all flights AS prime flight numbers. The “join” date seems to correlate with the IATA seasons. Maybe when they turn off the HA reservation system and add all HA flights to the AS reservation system.
From a legal perspective, yes all HA flights are treated as AS flights now, but the HA flights are not AS prime flights yet from a reservation and ticketing point of view. These AS*/HA flights are AS8xxx (4 digits) now and are not considered oneworld yet. They will become AS8xx (3 digits) on 22APR and then consdered oneworld flights.

I don't know why AS/HA chose to set the effective date on 22APR, but that is indeed the date HA will switch back from Amadeus to Sabre. It is NOT the date that marks the IATA season change, which is 29MAR in 2026, nor is it the date North American daylight saving will start. HA used to be on Sabre, like AS, but chose to migrate to Amadeus just not so long before the AS merger. On hindsight, the effort was definitely wasted.
