United said Tuesday it is going big to Hawaii. Starting Dec 20, United is adding 11 additional flights between the mainland US and Hawaii. The increase will make United the carrier offering the most flights between the continent and Hawaii. The additional Hawaii service will be flown from United's hubs in Chicago, Denver, Los Angeles and San Francisco. United already offers nonstop service from all of its hubs to Honolulu, including the only nonstops from Chicago. United's hubs in Los Angeles and San Francisco remain the largest gateways for passengers transiting to Hawaii from elsewhere in the country. <br/>

Lufthansa will transfer five of 14 Airbus A380s from its Frankfurt home base to Munich starting from summer 2018. The A380s will be used on long-haul destinations from the Bavaria state capital to Los Angeles, Hong Kong and Beijing. As a result, Lufthansa said up to 500 new positions will be staffed in Bavaria. This is the first time Lufthansa has based its A380s outside Frankfurt. “With the A380 we can offer our Munich customers a premium aircraft at a 5-star hub,” a Lufthansa official said. Lufthansa said it is showing a “clear sign for continued growth in Bavaria and over the next two years, the Lufthansa long-haul fleet in Munich will be receiving two more aircraft.” <br/>
