Hawaiian Airlines’ is reinstating its long-awaited East Coast routes in December with twice-weekly nonstop services between Honolulu’s Daniel K. Inouye International Airport and Boston Logan Airport (the longest domestic route in the world) as well as New York’s John F. Kennedy Airport.
The Hawaiian carrier is also resuming its daily nonstop service between Honolulu and Long Beach Airport, as well as nonstop flights between Kaua’i’s Lihu’e Airport and Los Angeles and Oakland, and between Maui’s Kahului Airport and San Diego and San Francisco.
“We’re pleased with increased demand for travel to Hawaii, and we’re excited to once again offer our East Coast guests the convenience of our nonstop flights as we welcome them to the islands with new health and safety measures,” said Brent Overbeek, Senior VP of Revenue Management and Network Planning at Hawaiian Airlines.
The state of Hawaii only recently began exempting travellers from its 14-day quarantine with proof of a negative COVID-19 state-approved test within 72 hours of the final leg of departure. Under its Hawaiian’s ‘Keeping you safe’ programme, enhanced cleaning procedures within the airport include frequent disinfecting of lobby areas, kiosks and ticket counters, as well as plexiglass barriers at staffed airport counters.
