Hawaiian Airlines is a U.S. commercial airline based in Honolulu and a subsidiary of the Alaska Air Group. While primarily focused on passenger air transport, Hawaiian Airlines has entered the space industry by partnering with SpaceX to provide Starlink internet service on its trans-Pacific flights. They are equipping their Airbus A330 and A321neo aircraft, as well as Boeing 787-9s, with Starlink's satellite internet connectivity, offering free Wi-Fi to passengers. This makes them the first major airline to adopt Starlink, enhancing passenger experience on long-haul flights, especially over the Pacific Ocean.
