Kamelia has been with Hawaiian for three decades, joining the airline as a flight attendant in 1992.
She was born and raised in the Kingdom of Tonga and became the first Tongan woman to captain a commercial airliner.
After joining Hawaiian, she set her mind to earning her pilot's wings, and after stints at regional carriers, she rejoined Hawaiian in 1999 as a flight engineer on a McDonnell Douglas DC-10. She later moved to the Boeing B767 transpacific fleet as a first officer before becoming a B717 Neighbor Island fleet captain.
