Key Takeaways:

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.
