Hawaiian will be the only US carrier providing non-stop services between these two points.
Hawaiian will launch the Manila service in March 2008 using its wide-body, twin-aisle Boeing 767-300ER aircraft with up to 264 passengers. The new flights will more than double the current capacity on the route.
Mark Dunkerley, Hawaiian’s President and CEO, said, “Hawaiian is expanding its service into Asia for the first time and we couldn’t have chosen a better destination than Manila. Considering the deep cultural and historic ties that exist between Hawaii and the Philippines, we are confident there will be great support for our new flights.”
Hawaii has nearly 300,000 residents who are identified as either Filipino or part-Filipino, representing almost a quarter of the state’s population.
