Hawaiian Holdings' (HA) Arm to Restart Oakland-Kona Service
Read MoreHide Full Article
In order to boost summer air travel, Hawaiian Holdings’ subsidiary, Hawaiian Airlines, announced that it will resume non-stop service between Oakland (OAK) and Kona (KOA) on the Island of Hawaii (last operated in the summer of 2016). The airline’s OAK -KOA service will begin on Jun 15 and operate through Sep 6.
This route will become Hawaiian Airlines’ fourth daily service, connecting Oakland and the islands, joining existing non-stop service between OAK and Honolulu, Kahului on Maui, and L??hu'e on Kaua'i. The senior vice president of network planning and revenue management at Hawaiian Airlines, Brent Overbeek, stated, “The Kona Coast has been an increasingly popular destination for Bay Area travelers, and we are pleased to once again offer our Oakland guests convenient non-stop service to the Island of Hawaii”.
With air-travel demand improving, the carrier’s decision to restart service on the above route seems to be prudent and may attract significant traffic, once operational. Additional traffic will boost the top line.
Apart from this, a second daily flight between San Francisco and Honolulu will begin on May 15 and operate through Aug 1. HA’s arm will also start a daily non-stop flight between Los Angeles and Maui from Jun 11 and operate through Aug 15.
Passengers will enjoy the carrier’s warm hospitality on board a modern, quiet and fuel-efficient Airbus A321neo narrow-body aircraft featuring 16 luxurious leather recliners, 44 Extra Comfort seats and 128 main cabin seats.
