Hawaiian Air a major player in state economy, report shows
Hawaiian Airlines in 2022 wasn’t even back to pre-COVID-19 performance levels and still was associated directly and indirectly with more than $10 billion worth of economic activity in Hawaii — 11% of the state’s gross domestic product, according to an independent report by ICF, a global consulting services company commissioned by the airline to assess its economic impact in Hawaii.
According to the report, titled “No Kakou a Pau,” which means interconnectedness, Hawaiian Airlines directly employs about 7,158 workers, some 90% residents of Hawaii. The analysis by ICF concluded that there also were secondary impacts of Hawaiian Airlines’ activities that include a significant effect on jobs in other industries.
