Hawaiian Airlines To Offer Nonstop Service From Austin Airport

AUSTIN, TX — Hawaiian Airlines has announced new nonstop service between Austin-Bergstrom International Airport and Honolulu’s Daniel K. Inouye International Airport beginning in April 2021, airport officials said on Tuesday.

“We are delighted to bring our superior value proposition to travelers visiting Hawai‘i from Austin,” Peter Ingram, president and CEO of Hawaiian Airlines, said in a prepared statement. “2021 is going to be a special time to experience Hawai‘i, and we can’t wait to welcome onboard our Austin guests and introduce them to our islands.”

This new route will be the first nonstop air service to Hawaii for Central Texas travelers and the first Pacific route from Austin, officials noted. This is Hawaiian Airlines’ first connection into Texas, airport officials added.

Flights will operate twice a week, arriving Wednesdays and Saturdays at 10:10 p.m. and departing Austin at 10:10 a.m. the following morning. The flight arrives in Honolulu at 1:30 p.m., giving travelers the afternoon to explore O‘ahu or connect to Hawaiian’s neighbor island destinations, officials said.

Tickets are on sale now, with booking and more information available at HawaiianAirlines.com.
"Guests will enjoy island-inspired complimentary meals and the roominess and superior comfort aboard Hawaiian’s 278-seat Airbus A330 aircraft," airport officials wrote in an advisory.

The aircraft features 18 lie-flat First Class leather seats arranged in a 2-2-2 configuration tailored for couples, families and honeymooners, as well as business travelers, officials added. Hawaiian’s A330s are equipped with 68 of its popular Extra Comfort premium economy seats with more legroom and enhanced amenities, in addition to 192 Main Cabin seats, according to the aiport's advisory.

“We are excited to have met this long-held goal of connecting Austinites to beautiful Hawaii, for both business and pleasure,” Gina Fiandaca, Assistant City Manager over the SD23 Mobility Outcome, said in a prepared statement. “This significant milestone helps us advance our goal of achieving our Strategic Direction 2023 outcomes that will benefit Austin residents and support our economy for years to come.”

“Austin-Bergstrom International Airport remains committed to providing the best service to our passengers despite a year with unprecedented impacts on the airline and airport industries,” CEO Jacqueline Yaft said in a prepared statement. “We know that many Central Texans will be eager to travel, and we are excited to offer an easy and convenient way to explore a new destination.
