Delta plans to expand service to Hawaii this winter, including a new route and additional frequencies.
Beginning on Dec. 19, the carrier will link its Salt Lake City hub and Kona, Hawaii. This route is not completely new to Delta’s network, having been briefly served between 2005 and 2007, per Cirium Diio schedule data.
The airline’s Salt Lake City to Kona service will operate seasonally through March 28. A Boeing 767-300ER will serve this market.

Currently, Delta serves Kona from its Los Angeles and Seattle hubs.
The airline plans to bolster existing service to Hawaii. Seasonal flights from Salt Lake City to Maui will launch earlier on Oct. 6 at four times weekly and will increase to daily in November.
A second holiday-season frequency will operate on this route from Dec. 19 to Jan. 5 with a 767-300ER.
Service from Atlanta to Maui will start earlier than usual on Nov. 6, with an Airbus A330-300. This route was previously planned on a Boeing 767.
Atlanta–Honolulu will gain a second daily flight for the holiday peak between Dec. 19 and Jan. 5 on the 767-300ER.
Finally, Minneapolis to Honolulu flights will be operated with an Airbus A330-300 from Nov. 6 through Mar. 28.
