Airlines/USA
Is Hawaiian Airlines safe?
No passenger fatal accidents in its history, among the oldest US carriers never to have a fatal crash.
A modelled estimate and protected opinion, not a factual safety verdict. Informational only, not safety or travel advice, provided as-is. See our terms & disclaimer.
Operator safety tier
Strong
Modelled fatal-accident risk on the order of 1 in 9.3 million flights.
A model estimate from validated signals (the dominant factor in a flight's safety), not a measurement of this airline's own flight history. IOSA-registered; no fatal accident on record; rating tempered, too little flight record yet to earn a top rating (an absence of accidents is not yet proof of safety). Full methodology.
Safety signals
No fatal accidents in its history (checked Sep 2026). A clean history is a good sign, and it is one signal among several.
