Hawaiian Airlines has joined oneworld as just the alliance's third US-based carrier.
The addition adds Honolulu as a global hub to oneworld's robust network and unlocks new destinations in the Pacific, including Hilo, Hawai'i; Rarotonga, Cook Islands; Pago Pago, American Samoa and Papeete, Tahiti.
The new membership also connects Hawai'i to nearly 1,000 destinations across more than 170 countries around the world and allows Atmos Rewards members to earn and redeem points on all oneworld airlines, book flights through multiple platforms and enjoy elite status recognition and priority services moving forward.
Benefit highlights include extra checked bag allowance and priority baggage handling for Sapphire and Emerald members when flying oneworld airlines; priority check‑in, preferred and pre‑reserved seating, priority boarding and Fast Track security access at select airports for eligible elites.

"A warm aloha to our new oneworld ʻohana, or family, of the world's leading global airlines, including exceptional flag carriers that, much like Hawaiian, share the beauty and culture of our home with our guests from around the world," Hawaiian Airlines CEO Diana Birkett Rakow said in a statement.
"We are excited to give Hawai'i residents and all of our Atmos Rewards members access to exciting destinations around the world—from Honolulu to Hong Kong, Maui to Melbourne and Līhu'e to London, and to welcome new oneworld guests with our genuine Hawaiian hospitality while inspiring visitors to appreciate Hawai'i's people, culture, and natural environment."
"We are delighted to officially welcome Hawaiian Airlines into the oneworld family, further strengthening our alliance's footprint in the Pacific region and the United States," added oneworld CEO Ole Orvér. "Renowned for its award-winning hospitality for almost 100 years, Hawaiian Airlines will make travel to the beautiful islands of Hawai'i more connected and rewarding for oneworld customers, delivering an elevated journey that brings the spirit of aloha to our alliance."
Hawaiian—which has been integrated into Alaska Airlines since being acquired in 2024—joins Alaska and American Airlines as one of more than a dozen oneworld members.
The carrier will celebrate its new membership by introducing a special oneworld livery on an Airbus A330 wide-body aircraft later this year.
