Hawaiian Airlines is adding flights this winter to accommodate “strong seasonal demand” in its key markets.
The carrier, which is now owned by Alaska Air Group, said it is increasing service to Los Angeles, Seattle, and Sydney from its hub in Honolulu. The airline is also bringing its first Boeing 787 Dreamliner into service on its route between Seattle and Tokyo, which is currently flown by the Airbus A330.
“We’re excited to offer our guests more options to connect with loved ones or enjoy a warm winter getaway,” said Kirsten Amrine, vice president of revenue management and network planning at Alaska Airlines. “These schedule enhancements reflect our commitment to providing convenient, comfortable travel during the busiest travel period of the year.”
From Dec. 18 to Jan. 31, 2026, Hawaiian will increase service between Honolulu and Sydney from five times weekly to daily.
On the Honolulu-Seattle route, the airline will add a fourth daily widebody flight between late November and mid-April. This service will replace an existing flight that uses an A321neo.
Service between Honolulu and Los Angeles will increase from four times weekly to five times weekly during two peak travel windows, from Nov. 21 to Dec. 21 and from Dec. 19 to Jan. 6, 2026.
Hawaiian will start flying its Seattle-Tokyo route with the 787 in early January.
