The Aloha Behind Hawaiian’s ʻŌlelo Hawaiʻi Flights

Source: Hawaiian Airlines Crewmembers of February's HA90 ʻōlelo Hawaiʻi flight. An aircraft cabin isn’t your typical setting for learning a new language – that is unless you’re traveling on Hawaiian Airlines. More of the carrier’s guests have experienced ʻōlelo Hawaiʻi (Hawaiian language) at up to 41,000 feet, thanks to employees who are perpetuating the language and normalizing its use by incorporating it into the flight experience. Translations are available throughout our cabin, from seat numbers and wall signage to safety videos and announcements. Out of all of Hawaiian’s efforts to honor Hawaiʻi’s native tongue, the most impactful has been bilingual exchanges between its employees and guests. Cue the ʻōlelo Hawaiʻi flight, a travel experience driven by teams passionate about the indigenous [...]
