Hawaiian Airlines to resume Tokyo Haneda-Kona service in October

Hawaiian Airlines will restart service between Tokyo’s Haneda Airport and Ellison Onizuka Kona International Airport, operating three flights Oct. 29. through Nov. 4 before restarting regular weekly service on Nov. 22.

The airline will gradually return to its original thrice-weekly schedule in March 2024.

By March 13, the airline’s Japan capacity will be 59% above summer 2023 levels. Hawaiian currently offers daily service between Honolulu’s Daniel K. Inouye International Airport and Tokyo’s Haneda and Osaka’s Kansai airports; six-times-weekly service between Honolulu and Tokyo Narita airport; and thrice-weekly service between Honolulu and Fukuoka airport.

Hawaiian, which first launched Haneda-Kona service in 2016, suspended flights in March 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Hawaiian will continue to operate its Japan routes with 278-seat, spacious wide-body Airbus A330 aircraft featuring 18 Premium Cabin fully lie-flat seats, 68 popular Extra Comfort seats and 192 Main Cabin seats.

For guests traveling to Maui, West Maui is currently inaccessible to visitors due to recent wildfires. However, most of the island, including Kahului, Wailuku, Kihei, Wailea, Makena, Paia and Hana remains open.
