Hawaiian Airlines officially became a member of the oneworld alliance on Thursday, joining parent company Alaska.
Hawaiian’s new status allows members of Atmos Rewards – Alaska and Hawaiian’s shared loyalty program – to earn and redeem points while flying with other oneworld carriers.
Other perks include the ability to book flights with oneworld airlines on Alaska and Hawaiian’s websites, priority check-in and boarding, and, for elite Atmos members, equivalent oneworld status and access to nearly 700 premium airport lounges, including oneworld branded lounges at Amsterdam Airport Schiphol and Seoul’s Incheon International Airport.
“We are excited to give Hawaii 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 Hawaii’s people, culture, and natural environment,” Hawaiian CEO Diana Birkett Rakow said in a news release.
Oneworld’s other members include American Airlines, British Airways, Cathay Pacific, Qatar Airways, Qantas, Japan Airlines, and Royal Jordanian. The organization’s CEO, Ole Orvér, said the addition of Hawaiian will strengthen the alliance’s presence in the Pacific.
Hawaiian plans to celebrate its oneworld membership with a special themed livery applied to an Airbus A330, officials said. The design will debut later this year.
Alaska, which acquired Hawaiian in 2024, has been a oneworld member since 2021.
