Hawaiian Airlines routes to 13 cities will resume, including the two longest domestic routes in the US. The question is about when the airline can return to a complete flight schedule, which is based on adequate demand. The truth is that’s anyone’s guess. As of last week, Hawaiian announced it hoped to operate its full 13-city mainland network, albeit with some reduced frequencies. We see how that will not occur exactly as planned. See what CEO Peter Ingram’s thoughts on bringing the airline back below.
Hawaiian Airlines Honolulu flights return.
Flights to Honolulu from Long Beach will resume daily. Those will restart as planned in mid-December. Boston to Honolulu flights are set to resume 3x weekly in January and then increase to 4x weekly in February. JFK flights will now start on December 28, and will still become daily in January.
Hawaiian Airlines Kauai flights return.
Hawaii’s bellwether will also resume nonstop Kauai flights from Los Angeles 3x weekly on December 17 and those will become daily in January. Oakland resumes 2x weekly on December 18, becoming daily in January.
Hawaii Airlines Maui flights return.
Maui flight resumptions have been delayed. San Diego will begin 2x weekly on December 17, becoming daily in January and San Francisco will start 2x weekly on December 18, becoming daily in January.
Hawaiian Airlines Kona flights return.
Kona flights to/from Los Angeles will now resume daily starting January 7.
Hawaiian CEO Peter Ingram’s take.
“I think we’re well beyond next summer before we’re back to where we were in 2019. But you know, my crystal ball hasn’t been so good over the last six or seven months so I don’t want to try to make too many predictions.”
BOH: The schedule should continue to be viewed as tentative at this time, and these won’t be the last changes to report.

Aloha Guys,
As I am looking to rebook my tickets, I noticed on the HAL website, while selecting dates, that it says, “Hawaii Island is not participating in the pre-travel testing program. All travelers arriving in Kona or Hilo will need to quarantine for 14 days, even if they’ve taken a test.”
Is this true, or is this more misinformation that yet needs to be corrected?
Mahalo for the info! ❤️🤍💙
Hi Jim.
More misinformation. Sorry to hear that. Hopefully, someone at HAL will see this and get it updated. Thanks for letting everyone know.
Aloha.
Regarding Hawaiian Air flight resumptions, no mention of LAX. I am scheduled for OGG to LAX on 11/7 and no word from HA yet about a schedule change.
We’re frequent visitors to the islands and have been for years. Frankly, I hope that 2019 never happens again. Too many people along with everything else that comes along with it.
From afar, it’s easy to see the changes that have taken place since March. The water. The reefs. Many of the islands problems still remain, without tourism. Unsafe drivers. General crime. Trashed cars. Dumping everywhere. Nothing done to rectify these in addition to having a lame, at best, plan to reopen the islands. Poor planning on the governments part. It’s really a shame. Aloha.
