WestJet has announced significant growth to its Hawaii network, featuring more Dreamliner flight options from Western Canada to OGG and new non-stop service from YYC to KOA and LIH this winter, bringing the airline to 57 weekly round trip flights on 10 nonstop routes.
"With easing travel restrictions, we know our guests are planning to turn their long-awaited Hawaiian getaway dreams into a well-deserved reality." said John Weatherill, WestJet, Chief Commercial Officer on 10JUN. "We've increased our winter service to Hawaii by more than 25 per cent from 2019 to ensure our guests have increased flexibility and the most affordable, non-stop options from Western Canada."
WestJet is also adding new weekly non-stop service from YYC to KOA and Lihue beginning in DEC. With the addition of the new service, WestJet will offer service to four Hawaiian destinations non-stop from YYC and two from YEG.
Starting this winter, WestJet will also add 787 Dreamliner service from YYC and YVR to OGG with 13 weekly flights.
As reported by Open Jaw, earlier this year Air Canada also announced a number of new, non-stop routes from several new hubs that will begin this winter, including direct flights from YUL to HNL (starting 12DEC), from YYZ to OGG (starting 18DEC), and from YYC to HNL (starting 18DEC).
Air Canada already had non-stop flights to several Hawaiian islands from YVR, but now, routes from more eastern gateways will be added to its arsenal.
Air Canada will also resume its previous non-stop service from YYZ to HNL (17DEC), from YYC to OGG (18DEC), and from YVR to HNL, OGG, and KOA (various dates in the fall/winter).
