Airbus A330

Since 2010, Hawaiian Airlines has been transporting passengers across the Pacific aboard its Airbus A330 aircraft, combining efficiency with comfort.

Each A330 is constructed at the Airbus facility in Toulouse, France, then embarks on an impressive 16 hour, 6,600-mile journey to Hawaii, often in a single, uninterrupted flight. Once in operation, a flight from Honolulu to Los Angeles feels as short as a hop to Molokai.

As part of a meaningful tradition, every Hawaiian Airlines A330 receives a name inspired by a celestial body significant to ancient Polynesian navigators, including Hokupaa (Polaris) and Hanaiakamalama (Southern Cross).

The aircraft accommodates 278 passengers, featuring a 2-4-2 seating layout in the Main Cabin. Perhaps best of all, each traveler enjoys a personal LCD touch-screen monitor for entertainment throughout the flight.
