HONOLULU, Nov. 29,
2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Hawaiian Airlines today began
sales for new daily nonstop service between Salt Lake City (SLC) and Honolulu (HNL). Starting May 15, Hawaii's
hometown carrier will welcome guests flying between Utah and Hawai'i with its award-winning
service and warm Hawaiian hospitality onboard its 189-seat Airbus
A321neo aircraft.
"We know this new route will excite travelers in both
Utah and Hawai'i given our
tourism and education ties, and shared Pacific Island
communities. We are eager to strengthen these relationships
when we launch our service next summer," said Hawaiian Airlines
President and CEO Peter Ingram.
"We are thrilled to welcome Hawaiian Airlines to Salt Lake City
International," said Bill Wyatt,
executive director, Salt Lake City
International Airport. "Hawaiʻi is not only a favorite destination
for Utahns to vacation, but is also a popular location for family
members to visit."
Utah has one of the highest
concentration of Pacific Islanders in the country with about 60,000
residing in the state. Salt Lake City becomes Hawaiian's
16th gateway city in the continental U.S., the most of
any carrier serving the islands. Tickets are on sale here.
HA84 will depart HNL at 6:50 p.m. and arrive at SLC at
5:15 am the following day, while HA83 departs SLC at
7 a.m. with a 9:55 a.m. arrival
at HNL – allowing guests to maximize their first day at
either destination.
"Hawaiian Airlines' expanded service is a response to meaningful
demand from one of our top 20 U.S. markets, and provides more
opportunities for our kamaʻāina to travel and for friends and
family members to return to Hawaiʻi," said Daniel Nāho'opi'i,
Hawai'i Tourism Authority's interim president and CEO. "We
appreciate Hawaiian Airlines and its longstanding commitment to
serving the people of Hawai'i and bringing mindful visitors to our
state." Also today, Hawaiian announced it
will expand service in Sacramento (SMF) with four weekly
flights to Līhuʻe (LIH) on Kaua'i,
starting May 24, and three weekly
flights to Kona (KOA) on the Island of Hawai'i, effective May
25. Both routes, which went on sale today and will also be
operated with A321neo aircraft, complement Hawaiian's existing
services connecting SMF with HNL and Kahului (OGG) on
Maui.
