Hawaiian Airlines announced Tuesday that they will be adding a third daily nonstop flight from Honolulu Hawai’i to Tokyo’s Haneda Airport (HND), starting March 28, 2020.
Yesterday afternoon, Hawaiian Airlines announced they would expand daily frequency from Honolulu to Tokyo-Haneda from two to three daily flights ahead of the 2020 Olympic Summer Games. Passengers can book tickets now for service beginning March 28, 2020 and the new flight allows for earlier departure and arrival times in Tokyo. The earlier arrival time will expand connecting opportunities for Hawaiian passengers through their partner Japan Airlines. In Tuesday’s announcement, Hawaiian’s VP Global Sales and Alliances, Theo Panagiotoulias stated,
“As the leading U.S. carrier for service between Japan and Hawai’i, we are pleased to offer our guests convenient and effortless travel options by adding a third daily flight between Tokyo Haneda and Hawai’i.”
The new flight will depart Honolulu (HNL) at 12:35PM, arriving Tokyo-Haneda (HND) around 5:15PM the following day. The return flight will depart HND at 8:15PM, arriving HNL at 8:10AM the same day. The Honolulu-Tokyo route is the largest U.S. to Japan city pair, accommodating over 2,300 passengers each way daily. Hawaiian Airlines operates 31 weekly flights to Japan on wide-body Airbus A330 aircraft. Beginning November 26, Hawaiian will add service to Fukuoka from Honolulu and the airline also offers service to Tokyo-Narita (NRT), Kansai International Airport (KIX) in Osaka and the New Chitose Airport (CTS) in Sapporo.
