Hawaiian Airlines was founded 95 years ago as Inter-Island Airways, connecting passengers from one island to another. Today, it is the oldest and largest airline in the state of Hawai’i and is headquartered in Honolulu, the capital of the state. Over several decades, Hawaiian expanded from inter-island flights to flying to the US mainland, and eventually long-haul flights to the US, Asia, and the South Pacific.
Through its network, it made Hawai’i a critical point connecting the state to the rest of the world. The airline is known for its top-quality service and is consistently ranked as one of the best airlines in the US. As part of its fleet renewal and expansion, Hawaiian recently introduced the Boeing 787 to its fleet.
Its frequent flier program, HawaiianMiles , was created in 1983 and has grown to include partnerships with all the ‘Big Three’ carriers in the US. On its website, Hawaiian lists the following as the main points of the program: Discounted checked baggage on flights between the Hawaiian Islands Earn miles on how far you fly, not how much you spend Explore more with miles that never expire Redeem miles for any seat in Main Cabin No blackout dates Earn miles on everyday purchases As the airline has grown, it has partnered with airlines worldwide like Japan Airlines, JetBlue, Korean Air, Virgin Atlantic, and Virgin Australia.
