Hawaiian Airlines Offers New Oakland International Link

Posted 06/09/2011

Hawaiian Airlines is to launch year-round services between Maui’s Kahului Airport and Oakland International from January 12, 2012 adding to the existing daily offerings from Alaska Air Lines and Delta Air Lines.  The carrier already serves Oakland International from Honolulu, while direct flights are offered to Portland International and Seattle Tacoma International from Maui, alongside its inter-island services.

An estimated 131,000 O&D passengers travelled between Maui and Oakland International in the past year, up 49.0 per cent on the previous 12 month period.  Hawaiian Airlines dominates the market with a 53 per cent share of this traffic (29 per cent using its seasonal offering on the route and 24 per cent flying via Honolulu), while Alaska Airlines holds a 39 per cent share and Delta Air Lines approximately six per cent of the traffic. 

Hawaiian Airlines also offers the added benefit of onward connections from Maui to Kona on Hawaii Island, initially at no extra charge, giving it access to a further pool of potential passengers.  It will use a Boeing 767-300ER on the year-round Oakland International service with seating for 264 passengers.
