Alaska Airlines buys Anchorage travel agency
Alaska Airlines said it's bought part of Hawaiian Vacations Inc., of Anchorage, Alaska, for an undisclosed price.

Alaska, a unit of Seattle-based Alaska Air Group Inc., bought the travel agency's bookings, brand and web presence. The agency employs 19 people.

The move coincides with the airline's May announcement that it will begin flying between Anchorage to Hawaii in December.

The deal is expected to close this month. As part of the deal, customers who booked vacations with Hawaiian Vacations will be transitioned to Alaska Airlines.
