Hawaiian : Airlines' Passion for Punctuality

Hawai'i's largest and longest-serving airline averaged a 91.1 percent on-time performance rating in 2016, earning the top ranking in all but one month and exceeding the industry average for the year by 9.7 percentage points. For December, Hawaiian Airlines posted a leading 85.1 percent on-time performance rating. The carrier also ranked first in fewest flight cancellations with 0.1 percent, or nine cancellations out of 6,347 flights.

'It's no secret that our more than 6,000 employees work passionately every day to ensure our guests arrive at their destination on-time,' said Mark Dunkerley, president and CEO of Hawaiian Airlines. 'Our success the past 13 years is a direct result of their hard work, and I continue to be inspired by their dedication to our guests.'

Last month, Hawaiian was also named the world's most punctual airline in 2016 by air travel intelligence company OAG in its annual ranking of on-time performance for all global airlines and airports.

Hawai'i's largest and longest-serving airline provides daily non-stop service to Hawai'i from 11 gateway cities in North America- more cities than any other carrier - using Airbus A330-200 and Boeing 767-300 aircraft. Hawaiian Airlines also operates approximately 160 daily flights between the Hawaiian Islands using Boeing 717-200 aircraft.
