Hawaiian to launch Auckland flights
Hawaiian Airlines will launch nonstop flights between Auckland and Honolulu three times weekly from March next year, the only US carrier to fly to New Zealand.
The flights, using wide-body Boeing 767-300ER aircraft, will provide same carrier connections to the neighbour islands of Maui, Kauai and Hawaii Island, and services to 11 destinations on the US mainland, including Los Angeles, Las Vegas and New York.
Market research indicates that Hawaii is an underserved market for New Zealand. Figures show there are currently 30% fewer visitor arrivals coming from New Zealand than in 1999 when more non-stop flights were offered between the two destinations.
All passengers flying Hawaiian Airlines from New Zealand will be entitled to a free checked baggage allowance of two items, each weighing up to 32 kilograms.
Fares and schedule details will be announced at a later date.
Hawaiian recently announced Brisbane-Honolulu flights, starting in November.
