Hawaiian to swap 767-300ERs for A330-200s on Sapporo route

Hawaiian Airlines will introduce Airbus A330-200s on its Honolulu-Sapporo New Chitose Airport route Feb 1, 2018, the airline announced Thursday. Hawaiian said its A330-200 service will feature a three-tiered seating configuration, including a premium cabin equipped with full-flat seating and a premium economy section, in addition to the main cabin. “Chitose will join Tokyo’s two major airports, Haneda and Narita, as well as Osaka’s Kansai gateway in offering guests our … A330 service, underscoring our commitment to the Japanese market,” Hawaiian Airlines Japan country director Takaya Shishido said. Hawaiian began Sapporo service in Oct 2012 with 3X-weekly flights, utilising Boeing 767-300ERs. The route will continue to be a 3X-weekly service as the A330-200s are introduced. <br/>
