Good to see Delta finally getting some competition out of SLC. They have been taking advantage of Utah customers for years with the only service here direct from SLC. Look for competition from SWA if the FAA ever certifies the Max 7! Surprised to see an expansion from Hawaiian given the problems with the 321 engine, but good to see anyway.
Good to hear and good for the State….Not a big surprise that HA is the airline that supports Hawaii best…simply the best choice to travel to and from Hawaii.
Frustrating to see such a major screw up…it’s happening everywhere, the F1 race in Las Vegas with all the talent and resources they have still screwed up in a similar way. One of many factors I think is poor communication, turf protection and cronyism. It’s a real issue in Hawaii Government and we are seeing it time and again….Lahaina, this, and countless other issues. Someone somewhere dropped the ball because they put ego and self interest ahead of good communication and problem solving. That’s my initial reaction anyway.
Great news on the Sacramento to Kona route! We used the prior Alaska Airlines Sac to Kona route extensively, that is, until Alaska removed that route when Southwest add it to their services a few years back. Then Southwest pulled that route from their services shortly thereafter leaving no direct flights to Kona from Sacramento. We never flew the Southwest route, but the prior Alaska flights were always full, no matter what day of travel or month, so kind of a head scratcher when they removed it.

That’s great news for us who fly out of Sacramento.
As a note it appears that Maui’s daily arrival numbers are making a steady climb back to match last years arrival numbers during this period.
As I’ve stated before I believe Maui’s tourism industry is going to recover faster then predicted by experts.
Experts, LOL or hahaha

Hi John.
Thanks. Any thoughts on the HNL runway spalling?
Aloha.

I wish Hawaiian would do a direct flight to Kona from Long Beach! Some people like to avoid LAX!
So happy to see SMF to KOA direct!
