Hawaiian Airlines has announced the opening of an Information Technology Center in Tempe, Ariz., the carrier’s largest office outside its Honolulu headquarters.
The airline, which has offered daily nonstop flights between Phoenix and Honolulu since 2002, welcomed 60 employees to its 15,000-ft² center. The new space complements Hawaiian’s technical capabilities in Honolulu and enhances the company’s ability to hire IT professionals from across the U.S. mainland.
Hawaiian, Hawai‘i’s largest and longest-serving airline, opened a temporary IT office in Arizona early last year before moving to the current location two months ago. It plans to nearly double the staff at the center by continuing to partner with Arizona State University and other local educational institutions to offer IT internships and recruit positions ranging from software engineers and architects to database managers and business analysts.
