Alaska Air Group CFO Shane Tackett to Depart Effective June 30

Alaska Air Group Inc. reported that Shane Tackett will depart as executive vice president and chief financial officer effective June 30, 2026.

The filing, submitted June 3 under Items 5.02, 7.01 and 9.01, states Tackett is leaving the position he has held since 2016. No cause for the departure is cited in the document. The company did not name a successor or interim replacement in the 8-K.

Item 5.02 requires public companies to disclose departures of principal officers within four business days. With the effective date set for June 30, Alaska Air Group must either file a follow-on 8-K announcing a new CFO or operate with an interim finance leader until a permanent appointment is made.

Regulation FD Item 7.01 confirms the company is furnishing the information to satisfy simultaneous public disclosure obligations.

The operational shift removes the executive directly responsible for financial reporting, capital allocation, and investor relations at a carrier with more than 150 aircraft and annual revenue exceeding $10 billion. A new CFO will assume sign-off authority on SEC filings, including the Form 10-Q for the quarter ending June 30 and the subsequent 10-K.

Any material financing activity or guidance update after June 30 will require the successor’s involvement.

Downstream requirements include updating executive-compensation disclosures in the company’s next proxy statement and ensuring the new officer completes any necessary Section 16 filings within two business days of appointment. The board’s audit committee must also confirm that internal-control procedures remain effective during the transition.

This marks the second senior-executive change at Alaska Air Group since its 2024 acquisition of Hawaiian Holdings. The original 8-K contains no further details on succession timing or external search plans.
