Oakland, Calif. (April 2, 2010) — Hawaiian Airlines announced yesterday plans to begin daily flights between Oakland International Airport (OAK) and Maui, Hawaii, beginning June 5, 2010, two weeks earlier than the originally announced start date. Hawaiian, which also offers daily service between Honolulu and OAK, will operate the Maui flight during the peak summer travel season through Sept. 6, 2010.

Due to high demand, Hawaiian will begin service between OAK and Maui on June 5, rather than the originally announced date of June 17. Hawaiian will operate a Boeing 767-300 wide-body, twin-aisle aircraft, which can seat up to 264 passengers, on the daily flight which will depart OAK at 12:20 p.m. and arrive in Maui at 2:20 p.m. The return flight will depart Maui at 9:35 p.m., arriving OAK the following day at 5:30 a.m. The timing of the flight allows passengers to connect to other flights within Hawaii as well.

“We are pleased that Hawaiian Airlines is doubling its Oakland-Hawaii service this summer,” said Deborah Ale Flint, Acting Director of Aviation for the Port of Oakland, which owns and operates OAK. “Bay Area residents have responded favorably to Hawaiian’s service to Honolulu, and now Oakland-Maui service is being expanded by nearly two weeks this summer due to increased demand,” she continued.

Tickets for the new summer flight to Maui are available for purchase. Book online at HawaiianAirlines.com, call Hawaiian’s reservations department toll-free at (800) 367-5320, or contact any professional travel agent.

In 2009, Oakland International Airport and Hawaiian Airlines were named the nation’s No. 1 on-time airport and airline, respectively, according to U.S. Department of Transportation’s (DOT) Air Travel Consumer Report.
