Hawaiian Airlines to Lay Off 530 Non-Union Employees in Oahu Maintenance Department Downsizing
Hawaiian Airlines has announced it will lay off 530 non-union employees as it downsizes its Oahu-based maintenance and engineering department. The decision is part of a strategic move to transition all heavy maintenance work for its Airbus and Boeing fleet to a third-party vendor in the mainland United States. This change, effective August 12, 2024, is aimed at improving operational efficiency and fleet reliability. Affected employees, including mechanics and painters, will receive severance packages, outplacement services, and opportunities to apply for other roles within the company. The airline states this difficult decision is necessary to adapt to the post-pandemic industry landscape.
