H.C.R. 34 Summary

• Hawaiian Airlines began 90 years ago with two eight-passenger amphibious planes and now operates a fleet of 61 aircraft serving 13 continental U.S. cities and destinations across Asia and the South Pacific.

• Hawaiian Airlines was ranked among the top five best airlines in the United States in 2019 by multiple sources including Conde Nast, Kayak, The Points Guy, Travel + Leisure, and Forbes (fifth-highest quality).

• The Wall Street Journal's 2019 "Best and Worst U.S. Airlines" ranking evaluated nine airlines on on-time arrivals, cancelled flights, extreme delays, tarmac delays, mishandled baggage, involuntary bumping, and complaints, but excluded Hawaiian Airlines.

• The Wall Street Journal stated Hawaiian Airlines would have ranked as the number one best airline if included, but excluded it because the airline's business consists largely of short inter-island hops with favorable weather and limited mainland exposure that would distort comparisons.

• The House of Representatives requests the Wall Street Journal include Hawaiian Airlines in future airline rankings and directs certified copies be sent to airline industry leaders, tourism officials, and the newspaper's Editor in Chief.
