Hawaiian Airlines’ regional subsidiary “Ohana Air” welcomes the arrival of its first ATR-42 turboprop livery aircraft named “Holo Kaomi” at Honolulu International Airport. This livery aircraft will be officially integrated into the operating fleet after passing the safety and reliability tests conducted by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). Flights operated by Ohana will be run by Empire Airlines, which is also part of the Hawaiian Airlines route network, providing seamless connections across the Hawaiian Islands, North America, and the Asia-Pacific region. Sales for the inter-island flights from Honolulu to Molokai and Lanai, operated by this aircraft, will be announced soon.

“Ohana” means “family” in the Hawaiian language, symbolizing bringing people closer together, uniting communities, and emphasizing family and kinship to foster interaction and enrich the local economy. This livery aircraft is named “Holo Kaomi,” which in Hawaiian signifies the mountain wind from Pā‘ōma‘o on the island of Lāna‘i. Due to the island topography, wind holds significant cultural importance in Hawaii, representing flight, memories, and human connection.
In addition, Hawaiian Airlines is currently offering individual tickets to O‘ahu, Hawaii starting from NT$20,000 (fuel surcharges and taxes extra), with an option to add a round-trip ticket to any neighboring island for NT$2,500. Flights from 10 western U.S. cities including Los Angeles and New York (with same-day connections via Hawaii) start from NT$22,000 (fuel surcharges and taxes extra). The above fares are valid for departures between February 8 and June 20. There is also a current promotion for a Hawaiian 6-day, 3-night self-guided tour for two people starting from NT$28,200 (fuel surcharges and taxes extra).
