Hawaii 5-0 heads for New York
Hawaii’s flag carrier will launch daily nonstop service between Honolulu and New York City’s John F. Kennedy International Airport, starting June 4 next year.
“New York is an important part of our growth strategy. Hawaiian is the leading airline in Hawaii’s largest tourism market, the U.S. West Coast, and we are expanding in Hawaii’s third largest market, Asia,†said Mark Dunkerley, Hawaiian’s president and CEO.
“Adding service to the largest market in the Eastern U.S., Hawaii’s second largest tourism market, was a logical step,†he said.
Hawaiian will operate Honolulu – New York flights with new Airbus A330-200 aircraft, seating 294 passengers – 18 in First Class and 276 in Economy Class.
Flight HA 50 (“Hawaiian 5-0â€) – will depart Honolulu daily at 3:05 p.m. and arrive in New York City at 6:55 the following morning.
Passengers from Australia will be able to connect in Honolulu, with Hawaiian’s daily flight HA 452 from Sydney scheduled to arrive at 10.55am, enabling travellers to clear US Customs then continue on the afternoon service to New York.
The return service, Hawaiian flight HA 51, will depart JFK daily at 10:00 a.m. and arrive at Honolulu International Airport at 3:00 pm, enabling passengers to relax in Hawaii before continuing to Australia.
