Hawaiian

History

Hawaii's largest airline since its founding in 1929, Hawaiian Airlines today serves 20 domestic and international destinations in the Pacific region. It specializes in air transportation among the Hawaiian Islands and bringing visitors to Hawaii from points in the Western U.S. and the South Pacific.

Carrying an average of 6 million passengers a year, Hawaiian Airlines provides high-frequency jet service daily to 8 destinations throughout the Hawaiian Islands and regular service to the South Pacific destinations of Tahiti, American Samoa and Sydney, Australia. In North America it provides daily service to Hawaii from more cities than any other airline.

Sikorsky S-38 A pioneer of Pacific aviation, Hawaiian Airlines was incorporated on January 30, 1929 under the name Inter-Island Airways Ltd. On November 11 that same year, thousands gathered at Honolulu's John Rodgers Airport to witness the departure of Hawaii's first scheduled interisland flights: Inter-Island's inaugural flights to Maui and the Big Island of Hawaii. Two eight-passenger Sikorsky S-38 amphibian planes thus began three weekly round trips between these destinations.

In addition to a consistently high rating by discriminating travelers, Hawaiian's service has won several international honors. "Hawaiian Skies," the company's onboard video program highlighting the people and culture of Hawaii, earned First Runner-Up at the World Airline Entertainment Association?s Avion Awards in 2004. In 2005, PAX International, one of the travel catering industry?s leading publications, awarded Hawaiian with Best Inflight Food Service ? North America.

Hawaiian continues to build on an unbroken 79-year record of safety and to date has transported more than 145 million passengers.

Hawaiian is the only airline able to provide single-carrier service from the Western U.S. and the South Pacific to the Hawaiian Islands. On board, passengers are surrounded with the gracious warmth unique to the people and culture of the Islands. Visitors to Hawaii are able to begin their vacation the moment they step on board a Hawaiian Airlines aircraft.
