What terminal does Hawaiian Airlines use at HNL?

Departures. Getting there: Terminal 1 welcomes Hawaiian Airlines departures on level 2, with some international flights using Terminal 2.



At Daniel K. Inouye International Airport (HNL) in Honolulu, Hawaiian Airlines exclusively utilizes Terminal 1. In 2026, this terminal serves as the airline's primary hub for all inter-island flights, as well as their domestic North American and international departures. Terminal 1 is a dedicated space that includes the Mauka Pier, which was expanded to handle increased passenger volume and features high-tech biometric boarding gates. Travelers should be aware that while Terminal 1 is the main base, some international arrivals for Hawaiian Airlines might still be processed through the Federal Inspection Station in Terminal 2, but the departures are consistently from Terminal 1. The terminal is connected to the rest of the airport via the Wiki Wiki Shuttle, but for those with light luggage, a scenic walkway also links Terminal 1 to the Diamond Head and Central concourses of Terminal 2.
