Your career with Hawaiian Airlines begins with paid training in Honolulu, where you’ll gain FAA certification and receive instruction in emergency preparedness, inflight service, cultural awareness, and guest care. Once certified, you’ll operate a variety of routes spanning North America, Asia, Polynesia, and the South Pacific. Ideal candidates are calm, compassionate, and professional. You should thrive under pressure, enjoy teamwork, and take pride in serving with both precision and heart. Hawaiian Airlines values individuals who bring cultural sensitivity and a sincere commitment to representing Hawaii’s people and traditions with excellence.
