Hawaiian Airlines has officially joined the oneworld alliance, which includes Qantas, marking a major milestone for the 96-year-old carrier and significantly expanding connectivity to and from Hawai‘i.
The move links Hawai‘i to nearly 1,000 destinations across more than 170 countries via oneworld’s global network, making travel easier for both residents and international visitors.
It is Hawaiian’s first entry into a major airline alliance and complements the earlier inclusion of Alaska Airlines, which joined oneworld in 2021 as part of the broader Alaska Air Group strategy to grow its global footprint.
“A warm aloha to our new oneworld ʻohana, or family, of the world’s leading global airlines, including exceptional flag carriers that, much like Hawaiian, share the beauty and culture of our home with our guests from around the world,” said Hawaiian Airlines CEO Diana Birkett Rakow.
“We are excited to give Hawai‘i residents and all of our Atmos Rewards members access to exciting destinations around the world – from Honolulu to Hong Kong, Maui to Melbourne and Līhu‘e to London, and to welcome new oneworld guests with our genuine Hawaiian hospitality while inspiring visitors to appreciate Hawai‘i’s people, culture, and natural environment.”
Under the integration, members of the combined Hawaiian and Alaska loyalty program, Atmos Rewards, can now earn and redeem points across all 14 oneworld carriers, with reciprocal elite status recognition and access to priority services.
Likewise, frequent flyers from other oneworld airlines can earn and redeem points on Hawaiian flights from today.
“We are delighted to officially welcome Hawaiian Airlines into the oneworld family, further strengthening our alliance’s footprint in the Pacific region and the United States,” said Ole Orvér, CEO of oneworld.
“Renowned for its award-winning hospitality for almost 100 years, Hawaiian Airlines will make travel to the beautiful islands of Hawai‘i more connected and rewarding for oneworld customers, delivering an elevated journey that brings the spirit of aloha to our alliance.”
Hawaiian operates around 230 daily flights and carried more than 11 million passengers in 2025, connecting the islands with key markets across Asia, North America and the South Pacific, including major oneworld hubs such as Los Angeles, New York-JFK, Seattle, Sydney and Tokyo.
The airline will also introduce a dedicated oneworld livery on one of its Airbus A330 aircraft later this year to mark the milestone.
The alliance entry is expected to deliver wider economic benefits to Hawai‘i by supporting tourism growth and improving access to international markets.
“Strengthening global air access helps us share Hawai‘i with more places around the world, while welcoming visitors in ways that respect our communities, culture and natural resources,” said Caroline Anderson, interim president and CEO of the Hawaii Tourism Authority.
“Hawaiian Airlines’ entry into the oneworld alliance expands connectivity to key markets, makes travel more seamless for residents and visitors, and supports high-value visitation that sustains local jobs and businesses across the islands.”
