Hawaiian Airlines, Inc. (Hawaiian: Hui Mokulele o Hawaiʻi [huwi mokulele o həˈʋɐjʔi]) is a commercial U.S. airline headquartered in Honolulu, and a subsidiary of the Alaska Air Group. It is the largest operator of commercial flights to and from the island state of Hawaiʻi, and the tenth largest commercial airline in the United States by passengers carried.
Operating from its primary hub at Daniel K. Inouye International Airport on Oʻahu and a secondary hub at Kahului Airport on Maui, the airline provides inter-island flights within Hawaiʻi, routes to other Pacific island destinations, including American Samoa and Tahiti, service to Alaska and the U.S. mainland, and international connections to Australia, Canada, Japan, New Zealand and South Korea.
Hawaiian is the oldest American carrier that has never had a fatal accident or a hull loss and consistently ranks as the nation’s most punctual airline. It also leads in reliability metrics, including the fewest cancellations, overbookings, and baggage handling issues.
On December 3, 2023, Alaska Air Group announced that it planned to purchase Hawaiian Airlines. After receiving regulatory approval, the acquisition was completed on September 18, 2024.
