Caring for our island home and global environment

Around the world as airlines strive to find ways to lessen the environmental impact of their operations, Hawaiian Airlines continues to add to an already extensive sustainability programme as part of the airline’s ongoing commitment to reduce its carbon footprint.

In Hawaiian language, the work Mālama means to take care of, tend, protect, save, and maintain. It’s a value intrinsic to Hawai’i’s culture and to Hawaiian Airlines, where caring for the company’s island home is a core value. One of the airline’s recent environmental endeavours making flying to Hawai’i even greener included Hawaiian becoming the first carrier to operate a demonstration flight between Auckland and Honolulu showcasing best practices in operational performance that greatly reduce fuel burn and carbon emissions.

Hawaiian’s Earth Day flight of eight hours and 54 minutes saved 3,260 pounds of fuel, reducing carbon emissions by five metric tons, after adhering to seven environmental markers outlined by the Asia and Pacific Initiative to Reduce Emissions (ASPIRE), a group of worldwide aviation leaders dedicated to advancing environmental stewardship in the industry.
