Connecting China to the Pacific & Beyond • Established 1929
Hawaiian Airlines (IATA: HA, ICAO: HAL) is the largest carrier in Hawaii and the eighth-largest commercial airline in the United States. Founded on 30 January 1929 as Inter-Island Airways, it is the oldest U.S. carrier that has never had a fatal accident or hull loss. The airline is a subsidiary of Hawaiian Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ: HA) and has been a wholly owned subsidiary of Alaska Air Group since September 2024.
Hawaiian Air Cargo leverages the airline's extensive transpacific and inter-island network, offering reliable freight services from China to destinations across the Pacific, North America, Oceania, and Asia. With a modern fleet including dedicated Airbus A330-300P2F freighters and widebody passenger aircraft with substantial belly-hold capacity, Hawaiian is a preferred partner for time-sensitive, high-value, and oversized cargo shipments.
