Hawaiian Airlines is taking passenger engagement to new heights with the launch of an industry-first collectibles program that’s already capturing the imagination of travelers across their fleet. Starting today, passengers can collect exclusive pilot trading cards, groundbreaking digital aircraft cards, and special wings for children during their flights.
This innovative initiative represents a significant shift in how airlines connect with their passengers, offering unique memorabilia that celebrates Hawaiian aviation culture while creating lasting memories for travelers of all ages. The program was developed through a strategic partnership with Hawaiian Airlines pilots, represented by the Air Line Pilots Association, International (ALPA).
Exclusive Pilot Trading Cards Now Available
The centerpiece of this new program features four exclusive trading cards that passengers can request directly from their flight’s captain or first officer. Each beautifully designed card showcases one of Hawaiian Airlines’ four aircraft types: the Boeing 717, Airbus A321neo, Airbus A330, and Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner. These aren’t ordinary cards – they’re printed on rainbow foil board with a Hawaii-inspired shine and finished with UV gloss laminate for durability.
What makes these cards truly special is their educational value. Each card includes fascinating facts about the featured aircraft and provides space for pilot autographs, creating a personal connection between passengers and the aviation professionals who ensure their safe journey.
“These cards were designed in collaboration with our pilots and embody ALPA’s mission to promote and champion all aspects of aviation. They’re more than collectibles — they give guests a chance to learn about Hawaiian Airlines aircraft and connect with the pilots who operate them. We’re proud to partner with Hawaiian in sharing our passion for flying and inspiring future aviators,” said Captain Larry Payne, Hawaiian Airlines Master Executive Council (MEC) chair of the Air Line Pilots Association, Intl. (ALPA), Boeing 787-9 captain at Hawaiian Airlines.
Passengers eager to start their collection should note that cards are distributed on a first-come, first-served basis, and pilots may not have every card available on each flight. For those needing assistance with Flight Booking Phone reservations or wanting to Book a Flight by Phone, Hawaiian Airlines customer service is available during their Call Hours – Monday-Friday: 8 AM to 8 PM, Saturday – Sunday: 9 AM to 6 PM. Travelers can Call Us – +1 (844) 833-2075 for booking assistance or use the +1 (831) 232-3579 line for Call Hours – 24/7 support.
Industry-First Digital Card Collection Program
Hawaiian Airlines is breaking new ground in aviation with their revolutionary digital card program – a first in the airline industry. This innovative system allows passengers to collect digital cards representing all 66 Hawaiian Airlines aircraft, with each card featuring unique artwork inspired by the individual names given to each plane before entering service.
The naming convention follows beautiful Hawaiian traditions: Boeing 717s are named after native birds, Boeing 787s and Airbus A330s honor stars or constellations used by Polynesian voyagers for celestial navigation, and Airbus A321neos celebrate native plants and forests. This cultural connection adds depth and meaning to each digital collectible.
“Today is such an exciting day for us at Hawaiian Airlines. Not only are we introducing something completely new by becoming the first airline to offer a digital card program, but our employees also get an exciting new opportunity to engage with guests, inspire future aviators and share our Islands’ rich culture in a meaningful and memorable way,” explained Alisa Onishi, Head of Hawaii marketing, Hawaiian Airlines and Alaska Airlines.
The digital collection process is remarkably simple and uses cutting-edge NFC technology. Passengers should look for the aircraft nameplate near the main boarding door and tap their smartphone against the NFC tag. This directs them to pilotcards.hawaiianairlines.com, where they can sign in and receive their digital card pack. First-time collectors will see an engaging animation and learn the story behind their aircraft’s name, with all cards stored in a personal digital binder for future viewing.
This digital experience is available throughout the flight using Hawaiian Airlines’ complimentary high-speed Starlink Wi-Fi. Passengers on Boeing 717 flights can collect cards during boarding or deplaning using their cellular data. For travelers needing help with their reservations, the Airline Booking Phone service offers comprehensive support for those who prefer to Make a Flight Reservation by Phone.
Special Keiki Wings for Young Travelers
Hawaiian Airlines hasn’t forgotten their youngest passengers in this collectibles launch. Children can now receive special clippable “Keiki Wings” (Keiki means children in Hawaiian) featuring the airline’s logo and “Future Crew” branding. These wings can be requested from flight attendants during the flight, though supplies are limited and distributed on a first-come, first-served basis.
This thoughtful addition helps inspire the next generation of aviation enthusiasts while providing young travelers with a tangible memento of their Hawaiian Airlines experience.
