It was a record-breaking year for Hawaiian airlines, which welcomed 11,840,178 passengers in 2018, a 2.9% increase over the previous year.
This record number of passengers marks 14 consecutive years of growth as the airline continues to expand its network and fleet.
Last year, Hawaiian took delivery of nine A321neo aircraft in 2018, bringing the total size of its A321neo fleet to 11 aircraft. The A321neo will help the airline build upon its already strong U.S. West Coast presence, including new daily nonstop service to Maui’s Kahului Airport from Portland, Sacramento and San Diego international airports, as well as to Honolulu’s Daniel K. Inouye International Airport from Long Beach.
On April 4, Hawaiian will also begin new 5x/week nonstop service to Honolulu from Boston’s Logan International Airport.
Hawaiian has led all U.S. carriers in on-time performance for each of the past 14 years, as reported by the U.S. Department of Transportation. Now in its 90th year of continuous service, it is Hawaii’s biggest and longest-serving airline, with nonstop service to Hawaii from more U.S. gateway cities (12) than any other airline, along with service from Japan, South Korea, Australia, New Zealand, American Samoa and Tahiti.
