Hawaiian Airlines offers young women a glimpse into a career in aviation
Hawaiian Airlines offered young women aged 12-17 a sneak peek at what life could be like if they pursued a career in aviation as part of Girls in Aviation Day.
The airline’s employee resource group partnered with Women in Aviation International Aloha Chapter so that young women can learn about aviation and aerospace and meet female role models in the industry.
Girls in Aviation day is celebrated every September 21, with the 2024 celebration marking its 10th year.

In previous years, Hawaiian Airlines has also been engaged in the same initiative with Women in Aviation International to encourage young women to take up careers in aviation.
In November 2023, the airline celebrated its first all-female, all-part Hawaiian pilot crew. The three pilots who operated flight HA90 from Honolulu’s Daniel K. Inouye International Airport (HNL) to Boston Logan International Airport (BOS) all have parents who are current or former Hawaiian Airlines employees.
