Hawaiian Airlines : History of Hawaiian Airlines Help/FAQ Sitemap History See a Timeline About Us Customer Service Commitment Investor Relations News Releases Corporate Info & Fact Sheet History Contact Us Privacy Policy Business Ethics and Conduct Help/Frequently Asked Questions Hawaii's largest airline since its founding in 1929, Hawaiian Airlines today serves 18 domestic and international destinations in the Pacific region. It specializes in air transportation among the Hawaiian Islands and bringing visitors to Hawaii from points in the Western U.S. and the South Pacific. Carrying more than 6 million passengers a year, Hawaiian Airlines provides high-frequency jet service daily to seven destinations throughout the Hawaiian Islands and weekly service to the South Pacific destinations of Tahiti and American Samoa. In North America it provides daily service to Hawaii from more cities than any other airline. A pioneer of Pacific aviation , Hawaiian Airlines was incorporated on January 30, 1929 under the name Inter-Island Airways Ltd. On November 11 that same year, thousands gathered at Honolulu's John Rodgers Airport to witness the departure of Hawaii's first scheduled interisland flights: Inter-Island's inaugural flights to Maui and the Big Island of Hawaii. Two eight-passenger Sikorsky S-38 amphibian planes thus began three weekly round trips between these destinations. The airline continued to modernize its fleet as aviation technology advanced. In 1935 larger, 16-passenger Sikorsky S-43s were added to accommodate increased traffic and newly authorized interisland airmail service. In 1941 Inter-Island changed its name to Hawaiian Airlines and introduced the 24-passenger DC-3 into Hawaiian skies. This "workhorse" of the piston era was the mainstay of the airline's fleet for many years. It became vital during wartime operations when all interisland traffic was placed under military control. Granted the very first air cargo certificate issued by the Civil Aeronautics Board, Hawaiian Airlines provided an aerial lifeline to Hawaii's Neighbor Islands during World War II. The advent of commercial jet service in the 1960s resulted in increased air traffic to and from Hawaii. Hawaiian grew to accommodate the travel needs of a growing residential population as well as an expanding visitor industry. In 1966 the airline brought to Hawaii its first pure jet interisland aircraft, the McDonnell Douglas DC-9. Travel time between the islands was reduced to a mere 20 to 30 minutes. The DC-9 remains the backbone of Hawaiian's mixed interisland fleet, Hawaii's best answer to the travel needs of residents and visitors alike. In 1984 Hawaiian began to provide worldwide charter services with three long-range DC-8 jets. Soon after, scheduled service began to Pago Pago, American Samoa and Nuku'alofa, Tonga. A year later Hawaiian acquired five Lockheed L-1011 widebody aircraft for scheduled and charter service. June 12, 1985 marked the inauguration of Hawaiian Airlines' scheduled widebody jet service between the West Coast and Hawaii with daily flights to Los Angeles. Daily flights between Hawaii and San Francisco and Seattle started in January, 1986. Service to Western Samoa soon followed. In 1987 Hawaiian expanded its South Pacific service by inaugurating flights to Tahiti, and Rarotonga in the Cook Islands. South Pacific service was scaled back in 1993 with the retirement of DC-8 aircraft used on these routes. In 1990 the international travel and hospitality publication Cond Nast Traveler rated Hawaiian Airlines one of the world's safest airlines. In an exclusive 20 year study (August 1990 issue), Cond Nast noted that Hawaiian was one of only five U.S. carriers, along with four with relatively short histories, that had never had an airfatality in their entire histories. Thirteen years later, Hawaiian's record of safety continues unbroken. In late 1993 Hawaiian Airlines entered into a series of marketing and services agreements with American Airlines' parent AMR Corporation. Consequently, Hawaiian in 1994 converted its reservations and operating computer system to American's SABRE system, became a participating carrier in American's AAdvantage Travel Awards program and replaced its entire widebody fleet of Lockheed L-1011 aircraft with DC-10 aircraft provided and maintained by American. In 2001 , Hawaiian began a comprehensive fleet modernization program with the delivery of 13 new Boeing 717-200 aircraft that would completely replace its DC-9 fleet that year. In 2002 and 2003, the company completed the program with the complete replacement of its widebody DC-10 fleet with 14 Boeing 767-300ER aircraft. Hawaiian Airlines' fleet is now among the youngest in the industry. Hawaiian has consistently been rated one of the "10 Best" U.S. airlines by readers of Conde Nast Traveler and Travel + Leisure for the past several years, has been the top U.S. airline for "Premium" class service by the Zagat Survey and most recently was rated fourth best domestic carrier in Travel + Leisure's 'Worlds's Best Awards.' In addition to a consistently high rating by discriminating travelers, Hawaiian's service has won several international honors. "Hawaiian Skies," the company's onboard video program highlighting the people and culture of Hawaii, earned a Bronze World Medal at the 42nd Annual New York International Film and Video Festival in 2000 as well as the Avion Award for excellence from the World Airline Entertainment Association (WAEA) in 1999. In 1998, Inside Flyer magazine rated HawaiianMiles, the company's frequent flyer program, one of the best in the world. In 1997, the International Inflight Food Service (IFSA) awarded Hawaiian its highest honor, the President's Award, for the company's Coach class service between the West Coast and Hawaii. The company had already won the coveted OnBoard Services Award for innovation and excellence in First Class service on West Coast-Hawaii flights. Hawaiian continues to build on an unbroken 74-year record of safety and to date has transported more than 130 million passengers. Hawaiian is the only airline able to provide single-carrier service from the Western U.S. and the South Pacific to each of Hawaii's islands. On board, passengers are surrounded with the gracious warmth unique to the people and culture of the Islands. Visitors to Hawaii are able to begin their vacation the moment they step on board a Hawaiian Airlines aircraft.

Hawaiian quilts are ulu,

sample sample What plants and supplies made Hawaiian quilts? When and how did the start?The Hawaiian quilts first started when the hawai'ians held their first sewing circle on Sandwich Island. The first time they met was on April 3,1820. The ladies came from Boston and started the sewing circle. The plants used to make the designs for the Hawaiian quilts are ulu, pineapple, mum, hibiscus, wood rose, anthurium, white ginger, laua'e, heliconia, torch ginger, bird of paradise and kukui. To make the design, they study the shape of the plants and then create an exaggerated form of pattern which is beautifully symmetrical. The tools that the makers used were quilting hoops, sharp pins, bees wax, needles, art gum, scissors , dritz maker, ruler, thimbles, thread, stem ripper, pens and pencils. The quilting hoops come in all kinds of sizes. Sharp pins need to be ordinary straight pins and perfect silk pins will do the job but quilting pins are better. The art gum for cleaning spots or light penciled lines. The ruler comes in handy. Your middle finger is the pushing finger. Thimbles are important to use for your middle finger and for your thumb. It will be easier to use a thinner needle so the appliqueing of the quilt will look better. When you make the curves and points it will be hard to make when you are quilting.Here are10 words in hawaiian and defenitions: HAWAIIAN WORDS AND THEIR DEFINITIONS 1.kuahonu: turtle back 2.lau: pattern 3.pili: lining of the quilt 4.pulu: soft glossy yellow wool on the base of tree fern stalks, sometimes used for filling 5.ku: motifs 6.koana: ridges made by quilting 7.kalaunu: a crown 8.kapa moe: a blanket for sleeping 9.kapa pohopoho: a patchwork quilt or a crazy quilt10.kuiki kulipu `u: zigzag quilting
