Case Study: Hawaiian Airlines achieves safer, more efficient global flight operations with DTN's flight hazard forecasts

Ensuring safe and efficient flight operations worldwide for Hawaii’s largest airline

Hawaiian Airlines, the eighth-largest U.S. carrier with 45 aircraft operating about 212 daily flights to 27 destinations across the Asia‑Pacific and U.S. mainland, needed accurate, reliable global weather forecasts to reduce delays and risks from thunderstorms, turbulence, and other hazards on long overwater routes. To meet that need the airline turned to DTN for flight hazard forecasting and specialized turbulence and thunderstorm products.

DTN provides EDR‑based enhanced turbulence and thunderstorm forecasts and global flight‑hazard updates every three hours for the next 36 hours, giving Hawaiian Airlines’ flight planners timely, granular data to build custom pilot briefings and make small preflight and en‑route route adjustments. By using DTN’s worldwide coverage and precision forecasts, Hawaiian Airlines improved operational confidence, avoided unnecessary large reroutes over data‑sparse areas, and supported safer, more efficient flight operations.
