Our Business
We are engaged in the scheduled air transportation of passengers and cargo amongst the Hawaiian Islands (theNeighbor Island routes), between the Hawaiian Islands and certain cities in theU.S. mainland (theNorth America routes and collectively with theNeighbor Island routes, referred to as our Domestic routes), and between the Hawaiian Islands and theSouth Pacific ,Australia , andAsia (the International routes), collectively referred to as our "Scheduled Operations." In addition, we operate various charter flights. SinceFebruary 2020 , we have temporarily reduced our Scheduled Operations due to the COVID-19 pandemic. We are the largest airline headquartered in the state of Hawai'i and the tenth largest domestic airline inthe United States based on revenue passenger miles reported by theResearch and Innovative Technology Administration Bureau of Transportation Statistics for the month ofJanuary 2022 , the latest available data. As ofMarch 31, 2022 , we had 6,656 active employees before giving effect to voluntary and involuntary separation programs discussed in detail below. General information about us is available at https://www.hawaiianairlines.com. Information contained on our website is not incorporated by reference into, or otherwise to be regarded as part of, this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q unless expressly noted.

Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic
The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, which began in the first quarter of 2020,
continues to suppress passenger travel demand, with passenger revenue down
approximately 32.8% during the three months ended
One significant factor influencing passenger travel demand has been the Safe Travels Hawai'i program, which was enacted to help control the spread of COVID-19 by enforcing quarantines and pre-travel testing requirements for travel to the state of Hawai'i. InMarch 2022 , the State of Hawai'i ended the Safe Travels program and incoming domestic passengers are no longer required to show proof of vaccination or a pre-travel negative test result. International passengers continue to follow federal government requirements. During the first quarter of 2022, we continued to rebuild our network, leading to a 71.8% increase in overall capacity as compared to the first quarter of 2021; however, capacity remained depressed from pre-COVID-19 pandemic 31 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- levels, down 12.1% as compared to the same period in 2019. During the second quarter of 2022, we anticipate capacity will be down between 11.5% to 14.5%, as compared to the same period in 2019. Restrictions on international travel continue to suppress demand, with international passenger revenue down 82.8% during the first quarter of 2022 as compared to the same period in 2019. During the first quarter of 2022, our domestic network accounted for approximately 93.4% of total passenger revenue. We continue to monitor developments relating to the easing of restrictions on international travel by both theU.S. government and international governments, including by the government ofJapan , which represented a large percentage of our pre-pandemic international revenue. Despite the easing of COVID-19-related restrictions on travel to and within Hawai'i, uncertainties remain regarding sustained demand for air travel, particularly as new variants of the COVID-19 virus have emerged and spread. There can be no assurance whether, at some point, the State of Hawai'i or counties within the state may reinstate quarantine or other travel requirements should the prevalence of COVID-19 worsen. TheU.S. government and international governments could also impose, extend or otherwise modify existing travel restrictions on domestic or international travel. Additionally, delays, disruptions, or issues with the performance of our third-party vendors and service providers due to COVID-19 could have a material or adverse effect on our operations and restrictions or shortages impacting other sectors of the travel industry, such as hotel or transportation availability, could negatively impact travel demand. As a result of all the above factors and our results to date, we expect bookings, revenue and results of operations in the second quarter of 2022 to be below 2019 levels. Unpredictability in the demand for air travel as a result of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic may result in decreases to existing or anticipated levels of demand, and such decreases could be material to our business. We will continue to assess our routes and schedule in response to changes in demand, including those related to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Material Changes to our Consolidated Balance Sheet
As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, we took actions to increase liquidity and augment our financial position in fiscal years 2020 and 2021. Refer to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year endedDecember 31, 2021 filed onFebruary 10, 2022 , for a comprehensive discussion of actions taken in both fiscal years. During the three months endedMarch 31, 2022 , material changes to our Consolidated Balance Sheet included the following: •Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments totaled approximately$1.6 billion as ofMarch 31, 2022 , compared to$1.7 billion as ofDecember 31, 2021 . Refer to Cash Flow and Use of Liquidity section below for additional discussion. •As ofMarch 31, 2022 , our total debt was$1.7 billion , a decrease of$69.9 million , or 3.9%, as compared to$1.8 billion as ofDecember 31, 2021 . During the three months endedMarch 31, 2022 , we made the final scheduled principal payment of$45.1 million for our ClassB EETC-13 debt obligation. •As ofMarch 31, 2022 , our air traffic liability and current frequent flyer deferred revenue was$760.8 million , an increase of$129.6 million , or 20.5%, as compared to$631.2 million as ofDecember 31, 2021 . The increase in air traffic liability is primarily due to an increase in advanced ticket sales prior to the peak summer travel season. Based on these actions, including anticipated revenue recovery assumptions, we believe we have sufficient liquidity to satisfy our obligations and remain in compliance with existing debt covenants. If we are unable to generate sufficient cash flows to support our future payment obligations, comply with debt covenants, compete successfully with less heavily leveraged competitors, manage potential adverse economic and industry conditions in the future or maintain our credit ratings, the impact to our business and financial condition could be material.
Fleet Summary
Due to the ongoing uncertainties of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business, we continue to evaluate our existing fleet structure to optimize capacity with demand, as well as the potential deferment of future aircraft deliveries. The table below summarizes our total fleet as ofMarch 31, 2021 and 2022, respectively and our expected fleet as ofMarch 31, 2023 (based on existing executed agreements as ofMarch 31, 2022 ): 32 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- March 31, 2021 March 31, 2022 March 31, 2023 (Expected) Aircraft Type Leased (1) Owned (2) Total Leased (1) Owned (2) Total Leased (1) Owned (2) Total A330-200 12 12 24 12 12 24 12 12 24 A321neo 4 14 18 4 14 18 4 14 18 717-200 5 14 19 5 14 19 5 14 19 ATR 42-500 (3) - 4 4 - 3 3 - 3 3 ATR 72-200 (3) - 4 4 - 4 4 - 4 4 Total 21 48 69 21 47 68 21 47 68
