Item 1.01    Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On October 1, 2018, Hawaiian Airlines, Inc. (“Hawaiian”), a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of Hawaiian Holdings, Inc. (the “Registrant”), entered into a definitive agreement (the “Agreement”) with General Electric Company and GE Engine Services Distribution, LLC for the selection of GEnx engines to power its fleet of Boeing 787-9 aircraft to be delivered starting in 2021. The Agreement provides for the purchase of twenty (20) GEnx engines, the right to purchase an additional twenty (20) GEnx engines and the purchase of a number of spare engines.  On October 1, 2018, Hawaiian also entered into a flight hour agreement (the “FHA”) with GE Engine Services, LLC for the maintenance of the aforementioned GEnx engines for an initial term of ten (10) years with an option to extend for an additional six (6) years.  Including engines at the list price and the expected maximum maintenance costs over the term of the FHA, the Agreement and the FHA together have a total value of approximately $1.7 billion, if all purchase rights and the option to extend the FHA are exercised.

The foregoing description is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Agreement and the FHA which the Registrant intends to subsequently file with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Registrant also intends to seek confidential treatment of certain terms of the Agreement and the FHA.
