Hawaiian applies for direct Tokyo flights
Hawaiian Airlines has filed an application with the US Department of Transportation to permit the carrier to launch direct flights between Honolulu and Tokyo.
If it is approved, the new route will launch in October this year and will operate twice a day on all seven days of the week.
Both flights would take off from the Hawaiian capital at around 18:45 and land in Tokyo at 22:00 the next day.
On the return journey, services would depart from Japan shortly before midnight and arrive in Honolulu around noon. All times are local.
Mark Dunkerley, president and chief executive of Hawaiian Airlines, said: "This new service combining the convenience of Haneda with Hawaiian Airlines' award winning service would offer a new, superior travel product that will increase travel to Hawaii from Japan."
Figures from the Department of Transportation show that the carrier has demonstrated the best on-time performance in the US for six years running.
