Hawaiian Airlines has unveiled its Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner interior that includes a new class of premium service – the Leihōkū Suites.
Hawaiian says its 787 cabin design elements evoke Hawaiʻi’s rich natural world through bold textures, island-inspired sunrise and sunset lighting and sinuous ocean and wind patterns.
The premium product, Leihōkū – garland of stars – features 34 suites that envelop guests in a tranquil, elegant space with fully lie-flat seating, an 18-inch in-flight entertainment screen, personal outlets, wireless charging and direct aisle access. The suites offer both privacy or a shared experience, with combined double seats allowing couples to fall asleep while gazing at a starlit ceiling.
“The combination of our evocative cabin design and unparalleled service will make our 787 the most relaxing and enjoyable choice for travel to and from Hawaiʻi,” said Avi Mannis, chief marketing and communications officer at Hawaiian Airlines. “We take pride in sharing our home with our guests, and the design and details of this product truly reflect what it means to be the flagship carrier of the Hawaiian Islands.”
In developing its Leihōkū Suite, Hawaiian became the first airline to partner with Adient Aerospace – a joint venture between the Boeing Company and Adient, a world leader in automotive seats.
“It was evident from the beginning that Hawaiian Airlines is very passionate about its culture and branding, and making sure that this came through in the design language and in the passenger experience,” said Adient Aerospace CEO Tony Guy. “It is so rewarding to bring this vision collaboratively to life and see it realised in the delivered product.”
Hawaiian says the carrier’s 787 Dreamliner main cabin consists of 266 Collins Aerospace Aspire seats with ergonomically contoured back and arm rests. The modern design maximises seat space, offers more shoulder and hip room and a 12-inch seatback monitor with USB-A and USB-C charging ports.
