Hawaiian Airlines is continuing its push into the South Pacific with a new route to Auckland, starting in March, which will open one-stop flights to New Zealand from multiple U.S. cities.
Hawaiian likely will be the only U.S. carrier serving New Zealand directly when it begins flying from Honolulu to Auckland with Boeing 767-300ERs. The service will connect to Hawaiian’s interisland and U.S. mainland networks.
The carrier is considering which of its 11 flights between Hawaii and the mainland U.S. will be offered as connecting service to Auckland, CEO Mark Dunkerley tells Aviation Week. He says the schedule will be revealed soon, but many of the mainland destinations will be included. Hawaiian’s New York flight is among those under consideration.
