Hawaiian Airlines is stepping up capacity on its Tokyo route by assigning the largest aircraft in its fleet. Hawaiian’s new Airbus A330-200 yesterday entered service on daily, nonstop flights between Honolulu and Tokyo’s Haneda Airport.
Hawaiian’s transition from its 264-seat, wide-body, twin-aisle Boeing B767-300 aircraft to the 294-seat, wide-body, twin-aisle A330 aircraft will add nearly 11,000 seats annually to the route.
“The return of healthy demand for our Tokyo service is allowing us to proceed with our plan to operate our largest aircraft on the route,” said Mark Dunkerley, Hawaiian’s president and CEO. “After the drop in travel following the earthquake and tsunami, we are encouraged by the way the market has bounced back. We want to welcome more visitors to Hawaii from Japan and encourage more of our customers from Hawaii and the mainland U.S. to visit Japan.”
Hawaiian’s Flight #457 departs Honolulu International Airport daily at 6.55 p.m. and arrives at Tokyo’s Haneda Airport at 10.05 p.m. the following day. Return Flight #458 departs Haneda daily at 11.55 p.m. and arrives in Honolulu at 12.35 p.m. the same day.
