Hawaiian Airlines to Offer Maui - San Jose Flight

Posted 13/09/2011

Hawaiian Airlines has confirmed it is to introduce a direct flight to San José from the island of Maui from January 10, 2012.  The announcement follows just a week after the carrier revealed it would offer year-round flights to Oakland from Maui’s Kahului Airport.  The new link, its first ever non-stop service between the two destinations will operate three times weekly and will be flown using a 264-seat Boeing 767-300ER, which offers an 18-seat First Class cabin.

An estimated 80,000 O&D passengers travelled between San José and the Maui in the past year, around 37 per cent of these travelling on Hawaiian Airlines’ existing flight via Honolulu.  Alaska Airlines already offers a daily direct flight on the route and carried around 25,000 O&D passengers in the past year, a 31 per cent share of the total market. 

“We know how popular Maui is for South Bay residents so our new non-stop service from San José will let them make the most of their visit,” explained Glenn Taniguchi, Senior Vice President of Marketing and Sales, Hawaiian Airlines.
