Hawaiian Airlines has announced plans for a new premium lounge at Honolulu's Daniel K. Inouye International Airport, set to open by the end of 2027. The lounge will be located at the entrance of the Mauka Concourse in Terminal 1 and is designed to be five times larger than the current facility in Honolulu.
The new lounge aims to enhance the travel experience for guests of both Hawaiian Airlines and Alaska Airlines. Todd Traynor-Corey, Vice President of Guest Products & Experience at Alaska Airlines, stated, "We are reimagining the travel experience with spaces that showcase our dedication to guest satisfaction and the unique culture of Hawai‘i."
Design concepts for the lounge draw inspiration from Hawaii's natural elements, featuring sculptural elements, vibrant colors, and reflective beams of light. Alisa Onishi, Director of Brand and Culture at Hawaiian Airlines, emphasized that "our new Honolulu lounge will be a celebration of our guest’s voyage, thoughtfully crafted to honor the beauty and warmth of our island home."
