Hawaiian Airlines announces to suspend flight operations till August 31

Hawaiian Airlines in its latest announcement has extended flight suspensions on long-haul routes.

According to media reports, this comes as Hawaii has delayed its reopening for mainland tourists amid a surge in novel coronavirus cases.

In turn, the move has pushed the state’s leading airline to push its flight resumptions.

For now, Hawaiian is only flying from Honolulu to Los Angeles, Portland, Sacramento, San Diego, San Francisco, and Seattle.

This means that the carrier has suspended flights to the following destinations:

Boston, Las Vegas, Long Beach, New York City, Oakland, Phoenix, and San Jose.

These mainland flights are suspended through August 31st.

The flight from Boston to Honolulu is the longest domestic flight in the United States.

The carrier only recently added the northeastern US city to its route network back in April 2019.

Hawaiian Airlines also flies to Australia and New Zealand.
