Hawaiian Airlines' new Boeing 787-9 Dreamliners feature colorful patterns inspired by sea and wind, and starry skies.
The airline — a customer favorite in the US — has just unveiled the planes' interior design. It includes new business class seats with the premium service Leihōkū. Leihōkū means "garland of stars" in Hawaiian.
Hawaiian Airlines first agreed to purchase 10 Boeing 787-9 Dreamliners in 2018, adding two more, for a total of 12, this past January. It expects to receive the first Dreamliner in November and enter it into service at the beginning of 2024. The remaining deliveries are planned through 2027.
The planes, which will be used for medium to long-haul flights, have 300 seats, including 34 business-class suites and 266 main cabin seats, including 79 extra comfort seats.
The design is inspired by Polynesian navigators who sailed the Pacific by observing the stars, sun, winds, waves, and wildlife.
