A high-quality Snap-fit model of the Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner of Hawaiian Airlines nicknamed "Kapuahi". The detailed and solidly constructed body of the model connects simply and intuitively with the base. The aircraft model bears the registration number as the original.
On February 23, 2024, the first of twelve Dreamliners ordered by Hawaiian Airlines was welcomed in Honolulu with a special celebration, including a formal Hawaiian blessing. The emphasis was on creating an interior that honors the Polynesian culture of the island group, using special fabrics, wall panels, and even the numbering of the rows of seats in the Hawaiian language. The airline usually names its long-haul aircraft after stars and constellations used in the traditions of Polynesian navigators. N781HA is named after Kapuahi, a red giant star in the constellation Taurus, which is known in Western astronomy as Aldebaran.
