Short description: Constellation
Heiheionakeiki is a Polynesian constellation which mariners used to navigate to Tahiti.[1] It contains the seven main stars of the western constellation Orion:[2]
As all of Hawaiian Airlines’s Airbus A330-200s are named for a constellation or star used by the ancient Polynesians for celestial navigation when making their voyages across the Pacific to Hawaii, the airline has named its seventh Airbus A330-200 (N386HA) aircraft after the constellation.[3]
