Hawaiian Airlines is ending a long-haul mainland route next year. Now integrated with Alaska Airlines, the carrier continues to shake up its network.
In 2025, Ishrion Aviation reports that the Honolulu-based airline will cut nonstop service to Austin, its only destination in Texas. The Honolulu-Austin route is slated to end on March 26.
Flights between the two cities currently operate three times per week on an Airbus A330-200. Frequencies will be reduced to twice weekly in January.
The carrier began serving Austin in April 2021. A spokesperson from Hawaiian confirmed the route cut in a statement to AirlineGeeks.
“As we begin the exciting work to integrate our combined networks to offer our guests more flights and connections to more cities, we are making some initial adjustments to a few routes. Effective March 27th, we will serve Honolulu-Austin via one-stop connections in San Diego, Seattle, and our other gateways, and discontinue our thrice-weekly nonstop service so we can redeploy aircraft elsewhere in our network,” the spokesperson said.
Next year, Hawaiian will increasingly synchronize its network with Alaska’s, adding a regularly scheduled second daily flight to Seattle. In June, the carrier will cancel its San Diego to Kahului route while Alaska adds a second daily flight.
