Hawaiian Airlines wins DoT approval to Tokyo Haneda
The US DoT has awarded Hawaiian Airlines the right to operate between Tokyo Haneda and Honolulu and Kona, Hawaii. DoT approved Hawaiian’s application for the sole night-time Haneda slot the Japanese govt made available for US service. The carrier plans to use the slot to fly to Kona 3X-weekly and Honolulu 4X-weekly. “Flights between Hawaii and Japan are the most travelled and most beneficial to the US economy, so being able to expand the number that we can offer to Tokyo Haneda Airport is especially important,” Hawaiian CE Mark Dunkerley said. Currently, US carriers have 4 slots at Haneda, all at night, which makes service to the East Coast commercially difficult. In its ruling, the DoT said the night-time slot award will not preclude Hawaiian from applying for a daytime slot. <br/>
