Air Traffic Control Modernization

Air Traffic Control (ATC) modernization (also called NextGen) is a Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) program to modernize our country’s ATC system, which would bring fuel savings to all airlines operating in U.S. airspace. While not a specific Hawaiian Airlines initiative, we have included an estimate for the potential impact of the NextGen program on our carbon footprint in our roadmap. While material, the potential is lower for Hawaiian than some other U.S. carriers because we operate relatively fewer flights into congested airports where NextGen will have the most impact.

Carbon Offsets

While we are focused on in-sector measures to achieve our decarbonization goals, we have also committed to offsetting our employee business travel as well as offering guests the option to offset emissions generated by their Hawaiian Airlines flights through our partnership with Conservation International. Our offset program for 2022 represents an estimated 2,400 acres of forest protected.
