Hawaiian Airlines is looking to restart its Honolulu-Fukuoka after nearly a five year hiatus.

The Honolulu-based carrier has revealed plans to relaunch the Honolulu-Fukuoka flights after suspending it in 2014. Hawaiian’s plans for the Honolulu-Fukuoka flights are pending government approvals and “economically viable” flight slots.

In a statement on its website, Hawaiian Airlines is planning to relaunch the flights as early as November. Should it get approval for flights to Fukuoka, the airline would operate flights on a four-times weekly using its Airbus A330 aircraft with 278 seats (18 Premium/First, 68 Extra Comfort, and 192 Economy).











Should Hawaiian bring its flights back to Fukuoka, it will fill the void that Delta will create when it suspends its own service on the route on May 8. It would also be the fourth city Hawaiian operates flights to Japan which includes Tokyo, Osaka, and Sapporo. For its flights to Tokyo, travelers could take Hawaiian Airlines flights to either Haneda or Narita airports.



”We are eager to bring travelers in Fukuoka and throughout Kyushu our warm Hawaiian hospitality along with the convenience of non-stop flights to Hawaii. Japan is a special place to Hawaiian and Hawaii, and we are excited to make both island chains more accessible for our guests,” said Theo Panagiotoulias, senior vice president for global sales and alliances at Hawaiian Airlines.
