On Monday (October 20, 2025), Alaska Air Group announced that Hawaiian Airlines will resume seasonal service between Honolulu (HNL) and Auckland, New Zealand (AKL).  Starting November 16, 2025, the route will operate three times weekly through the end of April 2026.  The route will operate during the Southern Hemisphere summer, when New Zealand comes alive with warm weather, while also providing connectivity throughout the busy holiday season.  Inbound travelers to Honolulu will also join seamless one-stop connectivity to and from the U.S. mainland. 


In Monday’s announcement, Hawaiian Airlines and Alaska Airlines’ Regional Director – South Pacific, Andrew Stanbury, said,


“We know Kiwi travelers have long awaited the return of our seasonal service, and our crews are thrilled to welcome them onboard once again with the authentic hospitality and care for which Hawaiian Airlines is known.  Now, thanks to the strength of our combined global network, every guest flying from Hawaiʻi, the U.S. mainland and New Zealand will have more options than ever to explore the world.”
