According to the “Blogosphere” Hawaiian Airlines says that Boston is the largest US market without nonstop service to Hawaii. It is reported that 500 people fly between the 2 cities per day. Hawaiian estimates that the market generated $76 million dollars in ticket sales last year. Hawaiian’s strong ties with JetBlue and JetBlue’s major hub in Boston may also have contributed to Hawaiian choosing the BOS market.
Hawaiian airlines recently suspended service to PEK freeing up aircraft for new routes. It will be interesting to see if Hawaiian adds additional “Seasonal Service” during the Holidays and before the new BOS route commences in April 2019.
