Featured Map: Hawaiian Airlines from Honolulu to Austin, Ontario, and Orlando

9 December 2020 – Permalink – Archives of Featured Maps

Yesterday, Hawaiian Airines announced three new non-stop routes fromHonolulu.The two longest routes will be flown twice weekly with Airbus A330 aircraft.Service to Orlandowill start on 11 March 2021.A layover of over 25 hours which will allow a single crew to operateboth directions, reducing layover costs. Although it seems wasteful topark an A330 for so long, depressed demand means the aircraft would beparked somewhere regardless.

Austinwill start on 21 April 2021,with a 12-hour layover, just enough for crew rest. Unlike other flightsdeeper into the continent than the West Coast, the eastbound flight will bea daytime flight and not a red-eye.

The third new route will be toOntario,with 5x-weekly service using Airbus A321neo aircraft starting16 March 2021.

In addition to the new Honolulu routes, Hawaiian announced service fromMaui toLong Beach starting9 March 2021.This daily service, also using the A321neo, will complement existingnon-stops from Honolulu to Long Beach.
