Hawaiian Airlines said Thursday that it will add a fifth destination in Japan this summer with the launch of flights to Sendai in late June.
Honolulu-based Hawaiian said the new service, which starts June 25, will fly from Honolulu International Airport to Sendai three times a week, pending approval from Japan's government.
The new flights will be the first between Sendai Airport and Hawaii since another carrier stopped flights in 2004, and is among the first new services to be introduced at the airport since the March 11, 2011, earthquake and tsunami in the Tohoku region shut down operations for more than a month, Hawaiian, a subsidiary of Hawaiian Holdings Inc. (Nasdaq: HA), said in a statement.
?We are delighted to be bringing the aloha of our island home to a region being rebuilt after massive devastation two years ago,? Hawaiian President and CEO Mark Dunkerley said in a statement. ?Hawaii is a place for relaxation, healing and rejuvenation, and we look forward to making visitors from Tohoku feel as though they are in Hawaii from the moment they board our flights.?
The new flights will connect with Hawaiian's flights to Sapporo, flying nonstop from Honolulu to Sendai, with one-stop service on the return flight via Sapporo, the airline said.
Hawaiian plans to operate the Boeing 767-300ER aircraft, which seat up to 264 passengers, on the new route.
