Hawaiian Airlines, Inc. (Hawaiian: Hui Mokulele o Hawaiʻi [huwi mokulele o həˈʋɐjʔi]) is a U.S. commercial airline brand headquartered in Honolulu and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Alaska Air Group. Between 1929 and 2025, it operated as an independent carrier and was 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 provided 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 was the oldest American carrier that never had a fatal accident or a hull loss and consistently ranked as the nation's most punctual airline. It also led in reliability metrics, including the fewest cancellations, overbookings, and baggage handling issues.
Alaska Air Group announced plans to acquire Hawaiian Airlines on December 3, 2023, and completed the merger on September 18, 2024, following regulatory approval. Hawaiian's final flight as an independent carrier took place on October 29, 2025, after which its operations were integrated into Alaska Airlines.
