‘Aloha around the world:’ Hawaiian Airlines unveils oneworld alliance aircraft | News
Hawaiian Airlines recently unveiled a special aircraft livery celebrating its membership in the oneworld® alliance with a design that honors ʻŌlelo Hawaiʻi, the Hawaiian language, with the phrase “Aloha a puni ka honua,” or “Aloha all around the world.”
Hawaiian’s oneworld-branded widebody Airbus A330 will continue to carry the airline’s iconic Pualani on the tail and a maile lei wrapped around the fuselage as it welcomes guests across the airline’s domestic and international transpacific network. The phrase “Aloha Around the World” reflects both the alliance’s extensive global reach and Hawaiian’s mission to share warm hospitality with a broader audience.
“This livery is a powerful symbol of what it means for Hawaiian Airlines to be part of the oneworld alliance – sharing aloha, ‘Ōlelo Hawai’i and our deep connection to Hawai’i with more people around the world,” said Alisa Onishi, Managing Director of Hawai’i marketing for Hawaiian Airlines. “Language is essential to preserving Hawai’i culture. By putting ‘Ōlelo Hawai’i on our aircraft, we honor our heritage and carry the voice of Hawai’i everywhere we fly. We are very proud to share our culture, our values and our aloha with the world.”
Hawaiian unveiled the oneworld alliance’s aircraft livery at a celebratory event in Honolulu at the Charles I. Elliott Maintenance and Cargo Facility, where it also donated $10,000 each to the ‘Iolani Palace and the Polynesian Voyaging Society – two of the airline’s long-standing partners who preserve Hawaii’s culture and traditions.
The oneworld membership of Hawaiian, the 96-year-old airline joining a major alliance for the first time, makes it easier than ever for travelers around the world to visit Hawai’i – a leading global leisure destination – and experience the airline’s award-winning hospitality from the moment they step aboard.
