Hawaiian Airlines (HA)

Hawaiian Airlines is the largest carrier serving the Hawaiian Islands and the longest-running US airline never to have suffered a fatal accident in its modern jet history. The airline operates inter-island service across Oahu, Maui, Kauai, and the Big Island, plus mainland US flights to West Coast and Sun Belt cities, plus trans-Pacific routes to Japan, South Korea, Australia, New Zealand, and several South Pacific islands. Hawaiian became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Alaska Air Group in late 2024 but continues to operate under its own brand, livery, and operating certificate. The combined group is integrating loyalty programs and is gradually pulling Hawaiian's network into the wider Alaska / oneworld ecosystem. Hawaiian operates a fleet of around 60 aircraft including Boeing 717s for short inter-island hops and Airbus A321neos, A330s, and 787-9s for longer flying.
