Hawaiian Airlines adds second Australian port
Hawaiian Airlines has just announced the debut of nonstop flights between Brisbane and Honolulu, with the thrice weekly operation to commence from 28 November this year.
The move will see HA become the only US carrier to fly to the Queensland capital, with the new flights connecting in Hawaii with same-carrier same-day services to other Hawaiian islands.
“Australians love Hawaii, and our decision to introduce three flights per week from Brisbane to Honolulu reflects the strength of the Queensland market,” said HA President and CEO, Mark Dunkerley.
The new flights will add more than 40,000 seats annuallly between Australia and Hawaii, and increase HA’s total capacity from Australia by 38%.
Flight HA444 will depart BNE at 6.35pm every Wednesday, Friday and Sunday and arrive in Honolulu at 7.50am the same day.
The return service HA443 will depart Hawaii at 9.45am each Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday, arriving in Brisbane at 4pm the following day in time for onward connections to destinations across Australia.
Ticket sales have not yet opened for the service which will be operated using 262-seat Boeing 767-300ER aircraft with 18 business class seats.
Hawaiian Airlines also operates daily A330-200 services from Sydney to Honolulu.
