Non-Stop Air Service Connects Hawaii And New Zealand

Can you imagine a vacation that combines both Hawaii and New Zealand? It's easier than you think now. Hawaiian Airlines has launched non-stop service to Auckland, New Zealand. With Wednesday's inaugural flight, Hawaiian becomes the only U.S. carrier flying into Auckland.

"We have been delighted by the interest in our new service, both here at home and in New Zealand," said Mark Dunkerley, Hawaiian's president and CEO. "The deep cultural connections between our islands and the islands of Aotearoa make New Zealand a natural destination for Hawaiian and for our singular brand of authentic Hawaiian hospitality."

Hawaiian will operate three flights a week between Honolulu and Auckland using a 294-seat A330-200 aircraft. U.S. travelers may purchase tickets online for any of Hawaiian's flights at HawaiianAirlines.com, or by calling Hawaiian's reservations department toll-free at 1-800-367-5320 or through any professional travel agent. New Zealand travelers may obtain more information, make reservations and purchase tickets on Hawaiian through its website at www.hawaiianairlines.com.nz, its New Zealand reservations call center at 09-977-2227 or through their preferred travel agent.
