In Friday’s announcement, United Airlines’ Vice President of International Network and Alliances, Patrick Quayle, said,


"We know customers are dreaming of summer getaways and we want United to be their top choice for travel to Hawaii. Our new Hawaii routes from Chicago, Newark and Orange County, in addition to the dozens of flights United already operates from the mainland to Hawaii, offer travelers even more options, greater convenience and shorter travel times to the fantastic outdoor offerings Hawaii has to offer.
