=== Early years (1929–1984) ===

'''Inter-Island Airways''' (Hawaiian: ''{{lang|haw|Hui Mokulele Piliʻāina}}''), the forerunner of the airline which is now known as Hawaiian Airlines, was incorporated on January 30, 1929. Inter-Island Airways, a subsidiary of [[Inter-Island Steam Navigation Company]], began operations on October 6, 1929, with a [[Bellanca CH-300]] Pacemaker, providing short sightseeing flights over Oʻahu.<ref name="SB Bellanca">{{cite news| last=Engle| first=Erika| date=July 14, 2009| title=The Buzz: Hawaiian Air's first plane in 1929 is returning home| newspaper=Honolulu Star-Bulletin| url=http://archives.starbulletin.com/content/20090714_Hawaiian_Airs_first_plane_in_1929_is_returning_home| access-date=March 6, 2011| archive-date=November 22, 2011| archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111122115651/http://archives.starbulletin.com/content/20090714_Hawaiian_Airs_first_plane_in_1929_is_returning_home| url-status=live}}</ref><ref name="HA Bellanca">{{cite press release| url=http://investor.hawaiianair.com/phoenix.zhtml?c=82818&p=irol-newsArticle&ID=1340377| archive-url=https://archive.today/20130103025320/http://investor.hawaiianair.com/phoenix.zhtml?c=82818&p=irol-newsArticle&ID=1340377| url-status=dead| archive-date=January 3, 2013| title=Hawaiian Welcomes Home First Airplane&nbsp;– 1929 Bellanca CH-300 Pacemaker| date=October 9, 2009| publisher=Hawaiian Airlines| access-date=October 25, 2009}}</ref> Scheduled service began a month later on November 11 using [[Sikorsky S-38]]s with a flight from [[Honolulu]] to [[Hilo]], via intermediary stops on [[Moloka'i|Molokaʻi]] and [[Maui]].<ref name="Timeline">{{cite web | url=http://www.hawaiianair.com/Aboutus/Pages/timeline.aspx | title=Hawaiian Airlines 75 Years of Service&nbsp;– Timeline | publisher=Hawaiian Airlines | access-date=June 1, 2007 | archive-date=March 6, 2012 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120306172128/http://www.hawaiianair.com/Aboutus/Pages/timeline.aspx | url-status=dead }}</ref><ref name=AirlinerWorld>Hawaii Nine-0 ''[[Airliner World]]'' March 2020 pages 86–97</ref>

On October 1, 1941, the name was changed to Hawaiian Airlines<ref name="FI">{{cite news | title= Directory: World Airlines | work=[[Flight International]] | page= 90 | date= April 3, 2007}}</ref> when the company phased out the older Sikorsky S-38 and [[Sikorsky S-43]] flying boats. The first [[Douglas DC-3]]s were added to the fleet in August 1941, some examples remaining in operation until final retirement in November 1968.<ref>Gradidge, 2006, p. 230</ref>

Modern pressurized equipment was introduced in 1952 in the form of the [[Convair 340]]. Further Convair 440s were added from 1959 to 1960, most of the Convairs being converted to turbine propeller power from 1965 to 1967. The last were sold in 1974.<ref>Gradidge, 1997, p. 95</ref>

Hawaiian Airlines started to offer jet service in 1966 with the acquisition of [[McDonnell Douglas DC-9|Douglas DC-9-10]] aircraft, which cut travel times in half on most of its routes.

From 1973 onwards, the airline's logo featured the face of Miss Hawaii 1964, [[Leina'ala Drummond]], who had been a flight attendant with the airline.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.cnn.com/2023/09/21/business/hawaiian-airlines-logo-death/index.html|title=Face of the iconic Hawaiian Airlines logo has died &#124; CNN Business|first=Jordan|last=Valinsky|date=September 21, 2023|publisher=CNN|access-date=September 26, 2023|archive-date=September 26, 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230926133319/https://www.cnn.com/2023/09/21/business/hawaiian-airlines-logo-death/index.html|url-status=live}}</ref>

===Hawaiian Air Cargo===
From 1976 to 1977 and again from 1978 to 1980, Hawaiian had a mainland air cargo division called Hawaiian Air Cargo based in [[Middle Georgia Regional Airport|Macon, Georgia]], focused on the [[United States Air Force]] Logair domestic cargo program. Hawaiian used [[Lockheed L-188 Electra]] freighter aircraft. The airline won an Air Force contract for 1976–1977,<ref>[https://www.newspapers.com/image/271937540 ''Hawaiian Air Wins Big Military Cargo Contract'', Honolulu Star-Bulletin, 6 October 1976]</ref> but then lost the lease of the aircraft it was using and was unable to bid for 1977–1978.<ref>[https://www.newspapers.com/image/262294544 ''HAL concludes LOGAIR service'', Honolulu Star-Advertiser, 26 October 1977]</ref> In 1978, Hawaiian tried once more with a new batch of aircraft.<ref>[https://www.newspapers.com/image/262507494 ''Hawaiian Airlines is back in Mainland cargo business'', Honolulu Star-Advertiser, 2 April 1978]</ref> Hawaiian Air Cargo operated again 1978–1980, when Hawaiian sold the operation to [[Zantop International Airlines]].<ref>{{cite journal|journal=Aviation Week and Space Technology|year=1980|date=August 18, 1980 |title=Shortlines |url=https://archive.aviationweek.com/issue/19800818|page=33|volume=113|number=7|issn=0005-2175}}</ref><ref>{{cite journal|journal=Aviation Week and Space Technology|year=1980|date=September 15, 1980 |title=Shortlines |url=https://archive.aviationweek.com/issue/19800915|page=41|volume=113|number=11|issn=0005-2175}}</ref><ref>[https://www.newspapers.com/image/825207705 ''Zantop To Buy Cargo Operation'', Macon (GA) News, 9 August 1980]</ref>

=== Growth outside Hawaii (1984–1994) ===
Hawaiian Airlines began to expand its footprint throughout the 1980s as the result of intense competition on inter-island routes created by the entrance of [[Mid Pacific Air]] into the market. In 1985, the company began its first foray outside the inter-island market through charter services to the South Pacific and then throughout the rest of the Pacific using [[Douglas DC-8]] aircraft. Despite the early successes of this new business, Hawaiian was forced to curtail its charter services when the Federal Government banned all DC-8 and B707 aircraft without [[hush kit]]s from operating within the US. Hawaiian did, however, manage to gain a short exemption for its South Pacific services.<ref name=AirlinerWorld />

[[File:Lockheed L-1011-385-1 TriStar 1, Hawaiian Air AN0255385.jpg|thumb|[[Lockheed L-1011 TriStar]] displaying the livery introduced in 1975.]]

Soon after, in early 1985, the company received the first two of its leased [[Lockheed L-1011 TriStar]]s. One aircraft was used to launch Hawaiian's first scheduled operation out of Hawaiʻi: daily [[Honolulu International Airport|Honolulu]]-[[Los Angeles International Airport|Los Angeles]] services. This new service put Hawaiian in direct competition with the major US air carriers for the first time in its history.<ref name=":0">{{Cite news|title = Prepare for Take-Off: Hawaii's Interisland Airlines Are Searching for Bluer, More Profitable Skies|last = Kephart|first = Linda|date = June 1985|work = Hawaii Business|id = {{ProQuest|212636663}}}}</ref> Throughout 1985 and 1986, Hawaiian Airlines added additional L-1011s to its fleet and used them to open up services to other West Coast gateway cities such as San Francisco, Seattle, Portland, Las Vegas, and Anchorage, which placed Hawaiian in further competition against the major US airlines.<ref name=":1">{{Cite news|title = Takeovers Taking Off|last = Chang|first = Diane|date = Jun 1986|work = Hawaii Business|id = {{ProQuest|212627011}}}}</ref>

Hawaiian Airlines also entered the new international markets of Australia and New Zealand in 1986 with one-stop services through [[Pago Pago International Airport]]. Hawaiian also aggressively grew its international charter business and pursued military transport contracts. This led to a large growth in the company's revenues and caused its inter-island service's share of revenues to shrink to just about a third of the company's total.<ref name="Yoneyama">{{closed access}} {{Cite news|title = Hawaii's Turbulent Skies|last = Yoneyama|first = Tom|date = June 1988|work = Hawaii Business|id = {{ProQuest|212586049}}}}</ref>

During the 1980s, Hawaiian also embarked on the development and construction of [[Kapalua Airport]] on the west side of Maui. Opened in 1987, the airport was designed with a {{convert|3000|foot||adj=mid| runway}}, which constrained its ability to handle large aircraft.<ref>{{Cite news |title=Kapalua Airport (West Maui) |work=Hawaii Aviation |url=https://aviation.hawaii.gov/airfields-airports/maui/kapalua-airport-west-maui/ |access-date=November 23, 2023 |id={{ProQuest|212584554}} |archive-date=November 23, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231123120037/https://aviation.hawaii.gov/airfields-airports/maui/kapalua-airport-west-maui/ |url-status=live }}</ref> As a result, when the airport first opened, Hawaiian Airlines was the only inter-island carrier with aircraft capable of serving the airport. With its [[de Havilland Canada DHC-7 Dash 7]] turboprops, Hawaiian had a distinct competitive advantage in the Maui market.<ref name=":0" /><ref name=":1" />

Heading into the 1990s, Hawaiian Airlines faced financial difficulties, racking up millions of dollars in losses throughout the previous three years. Due to the airline's increasingly unprofitable operations, it filed for [[Chapter 11]] bankruptcy protection in September 1993. During this time, the company reduced many of its costs: reorganizing its debt, wrestling concessions from employees, cutting overcapacity, and streamlining its fleet by disposing of many of the planes it had added to its fleet just a few years earlier.<ref name=":2">{{Cite news|title = Hawaiian Managers seek to Trade Debt for Equity|last = Smith|first = Bruce|date = October 11, 1993|work = Aviation Week & Space Technology|id = {{ProQuest|206042187}}}}</ref>

As part of Hawaiian's restructuring, it sold Kapalua Airport to the State of Hawaii in 1993. Hawaiian soon after discontinued service to the airport as it retired its Dash 7 fleet.<ref name=":2" /> The retirement of the Dash 7 in 1994 also resulted in the airline operating a more streamlined all-jet fleet as it exited bankruptcy in September 1994.<ref name=":3">{{Cite news|title = Hawaiian Rises from Bankruptcy|last = Phillips|first = Edwards|date = September 19, 1994|work = Aviation Week & Space Technology|id = {{ProQuest|206042187}}}}</ref>

=== All jet fleet (1994–2003) ===
[[File:N125AA DC-10-10 Hawaiian LAS 21JAN99 (5619417187).jpg|thumb|Hawaiian introduced the [[McDonnell Douglas DC-10]] to replace its [[Lockheed L-1011 TriStar]] jets.]]

To replace its retired DC-8s and L-1011s, Hawaiian Airlines leased six DC-10s from [[American Airlines]], who continued to provide maintenance on the aircraft. An agreement with American also included participation in American's [[Sabre (computer system)|SABRE]] reservation system and participation in American Airlines' [[AAdvantage]] frequent flyer program.<ref name=":3" /> The DC-10s were subsequently retired between 2002 and 2003.<ref name="CH" /> The company replaced these leased DC-10s with 14 leased [[Boeing 767]] aircraft during a fleet modernization program that also replaced its DC-9s with new [[Boeing 717]] aircraft. The Boeing aircraft featured an updated rendition of the company's "Pualani" tail art, which had appeared on its Douglas aircraft since the 1970s. A new design was updated by a local artist Mauriel Morejon. Pualani, which means "flower of the sky," the key icon of Hawaiian's brand for more than four decades, continues to feature on the tail of the aircraft; beneath her, a silver maile lei with woven pakalana flower wraps around the fuselage.

In October 2002, Hawaiian began service to [[Phoenix Sky Harbor]] airport with its Boeing 767–300 aircraft.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://newsroom.hawaiianairlines.com/releases/hawaiian-airlines-launches-daily-nonstop-service-from-phoenix | title=Hawaiian Airlines Launches Daily Nonstop Service from Phoenix | access-date=June 26, 2023 | archive-date=June 26, 2023 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230626201756/https://newsroom.hawaiianairlines.com/releases/hawaiian-airlines-launches-daily-nonstop-service-from-phoenix | url-status=live }}</ref>

=== Second bankruptcy and reorganization (2003–2005) ===
In March 2003, Hawaiian Airlines filed for [[Chapter 11]] bankruptcy protection for the second time in its history. The airline continued its normal operations, and at the time was overdue for $4.5&nbsp;million worth of payments to the pilots' pension plan. Within the company, it was suggested that the plan be terminated. As of May 2005, Hawaiian Airlines had received court approval for its reorganization plan. The company emerged from bankruptcy protection on June 2, 2005, with reduced operating costs through renegotiated contracts with its union work groups; restructured aircraft leases; and investment from RC Aviation, a unit of San Diego–based Ranch Capital, which bought a majority share in parent company Hawaiian Holdings Inc in 2004.

=== Post-bankruptcy (2005–2012) ===
On September 28, 2005, Hawaiian Airlines began nonstop daily flights from Honolulu to [[San Jose International Airport|San Jose, California]]. This made San Jose the fifth gateway city in California to be serviced by Hawaiian; the others were [[Los Angeles]], [[San Diego]], [[Sacramento]], and [[San Francisco]].<ref>{{cite web |date=September 28, 2005 |title=Hawaiian Airlines Launches San José-Honolulu Nonstop Daily Service |url=https://newsroom.hawaiianairlines.com/releases/hawaiian-airlines-launches-san-jose-honolulu-nonstop-daily-service |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100613010007/http://sjc.org/about/newsroom/2005_releases/hawaiian.htm |archive-date=June 13, 2010 |access-date=November 23, 2023 |work=newsroom.hawaiianairlines.com |publisher=Hawaiian Airlines}}</ref>

On May 4, 2006, Hawaiian Airlines expanded service between the US mainland and Hawaii in anticipation of the induction of four additional Boeing 767–300 aircraft, primarily focused on expanding non-stop service to Kahului Airport from San Diego, [[Seattle]], and [[Portland, Oregon|Portland]]. Additional flights were also added between Honolulu and the cities of Sacramento, Seattle, and Los Angeles.

==== Catering ====
Hawaiian provides complimentary and paid beverage service on all of its flights. Meals are not provided on inter-island flights because of their short length (30–45 minutes). On its U.S. mainland flights, Hawaiian is one of the only major U.S. airlines to provide complimentary meals in its [[Economy class|main cabin (coach class)]]; each meal is made with no [[preservative]]s and with all-natural ingredients and is packaged with [[Recycling|recyclable]] materials.<ref name="green">{{Cite news |date=April 21, 2009 |title=Hawaiian Goes "Green" With New All-Natural Meals In Coach |work=Hawaiian Airlines |url=https://newsroom.hawaiianairlines.com/releases/hawaiian-goes-green-with-new-all-natural-meals-in-coach |url-status=live |access-date=November 23, 2023 |archive-url=https://archive.today/20130103163658/http://investor.hawaiianairlines.com/phoenix.zhtml#selection-475.0-475.57 |archive-date=January 3, 2013}}</ref> In 2009, Hawaiian introduced premium meals in its main cabin, giving passengers the option of having the complimentary meal or paying to upgrade to a premium meal. The premium meals consisted of a variety of high-end Asian cuisines but were later discontinued.<ref name="green" /><ref name="cater">{{cite news |url=http://archives.starbulletin.com/content/20100418_Hawaiian_moves_to_cater_to_customers |title=Hawaiian moves to cater to customers |date=April 18, 2010 |newspaper=Honolulu Star-Bulletin |access-date=March 6, 2011 |archive-date=November 22, 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111122120956/http://archives.starbulletin.com/content/20100418_Hawaiian_moves_to_cater_to_customers |url-status=live }}</ref>

In March 2007, Hawaiian introduced a "[[tasting menu]]" or "tapas menu" for its first-class passengers on its U.S. mainland and international flights. The menu consists of twenty entrees set on a rotation, with five available on any given flight. Passengers are provided information on the available entrees for their flight when they board or shortly after takeoff and may choose up to three entrees as part of their inflight meal.<ref name=cater /><ref>{{cite web |date=April 30, 2007 |title=Hawaiian Airlines Innovates With Tasting Menu Concept |url=https://newsroom.hawaiianairlines.com/releases/hawaiian-airlines-innovates-with-tasting-menu-concept |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110928210047/http://www.slashfood.com/2007/05/03/hawaiian-airlines-introduces-tasting-menu/ |archive-date=September 28, 2011 |access-date=November 23, 2023 |work=newsroom.hawaiianairlines.com |publisher=Hawaiian Airlines}}</ref>

In August 2012, Hawaiian announced an upgrade to its economy class in-flight U.S. mainland service. Among the upgrades were a new menu, a complimentary glass of wine on lunch or dinner flights, and a free tropical cocktail before landing on breakfast flights. This was in contrast to other airlines, which cut back on meal service.<ref name="doubledown">{{cite web|url=http://www.aviationpros.com/news/10756532/hawaiian-air-doubles-down-on-free-in-flight-refreshments|title=Hawaiian Air doubles down on free in-flight refreshments|work=aviationpros.com|date=August 7, 2012|access-date=August 20, 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140906200501/http://www.aviationpros.com/news/10756532/hawaiian-air-doubles-down-on-free-in-flight-refreshments|archive-date=September 6, 2014|url-status=dead}}</ref> According to Hawaiian's then-CEO Mark Dunkerley:

<blockquote>"In today's competitive world you cannot justify providing complimentary meals on a traditional business model. It simply does not pay for itself... which explains why essentially everybody has taken all that free food off the airplane. We're being illogical by actually investing heavily in this area...It's part of who we are, and it's what makes us different from everybody else."<ref name=doubledown /></blockquote>
Starting December 1, 2017, guests in the main cabin on Hawaiian flights between Hawaiʻi and western U.S. gateway cities will be treated to complimentary meal service exclusively created for the airline's new ''Pau Hāna Café'' brand. ''The Pau Hāna Café'', named after the Hawaiian term for "finished work", is a branded continental breakfast box for brunch and a hot sandwich and side for lunch.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://newsroom.hawaiianairlines.com/releases/hawaiian-airlines-introduces-new-meal-program-designer-uniforms|title=Hawaiian Airlines Introduces New Meal Program, Designer Uniforms|website=Newsroom.hawaiianairlines.com|language=en|access-date=January 2, 2018|archive-date=January 3, 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180103011707/https://newsroom.hawaiianairlines.com/releases/hawaiian-airlines-introduces-new-meal-program-designer-uniforms|url-status=live}}</ref>

In February 2024, the airline announced it would offer free [[in-flight Wi-Fi]] provided by [[SpaceX|SpaceX's]] [[Starlink]], making it the first major US airline to offer the satellite-based service. Costs were not disclosed. It came at a time when other airlines were increasing their high-speed offerings.
