Alaska Air Group subsidiary Hawaiian Airlines has unveiled a five-year investment program totalling more than US$600m focused on modernizing airport infrastructure across Hawai‘i alongside upgrades to aircraft interiors, digital systems and sustainability initiatives. The Kahu‘ewai Hawai‘i Investment Plan will fund renovations at key airports including Honolulu, Līhu‘e, Kahului, Kona and Hilo, with work beginning this year and continuing through 2029.
At Honolulu’s Daniel K Inouye International Airport, Hawaiian Airlines will build a new 985m2 premium lounge at the entrance to Terminal 1’s Mauka Concourse. The airline says the lounge will improve pre-flight comfort at its busiest hub. Across the network, lobby and gate refurbishments will focus on improved passenger flow, expanded seating, additional power outlets and upgraded amenities.
