Alaska Airlines to Add San Diego – Honolulu Link

Posted 19/07/2011

US carrier Alaska Airlines is to introduce a new daily flight between San Diego and Honolulu, complementing its existing link to Kahului, Maui from the US city, a route that was launched in October last year.  The new service will be inaugurated from November 17. 

Alaska Airlines currently offers five flights per day to Honolulu with daily links from Anchorage, Bellingham and Portland International and a twice daily service from Seattle Tacoma International.  Hawaiian Airlines already offers a daily service between Honolulu and San Diego, carrying an estimated 110,000 O&D passengers in the past year.  This, however, is just a 54 per cent share of the total 207,000 O&D passenger traffic, the rest using the flights of the US majors via intermediate hubs. 

In the past year Alaska Airlines handled around 321,000 passengers on its flights between Honolulu and the mainland US, placing it as the seventh largest carrier in this market with just a 2.9 per cent share.  Hawaiian Airlines dominates this area with a 48.4 per cent share, followed by United Airlines (14.6 per cent), Delta Air Lines (10.6 per cent), American Airlines (6.7 per cent), Continental Airlines (4.8 per cent) and Mesa Airlines (4.6 per cent).
