That same year, thousands gathered in Honolulu to witness the departure of Hawaii’s first scheduled inter-island flights to Maui and the Big Island Hawaii. In 1941, the name was changed to Hawaiian Airlines. In the mid 1980’s, they expanded their travels to Los Angeles after they received the first two of its leased Lockheed aircrafts. Since 2000, they have been voted the Best Airline 10 times and #1 On-Time Performance 7 times.
