Hawaiian Airlines to resume Honolulu-Fukuoka service

Hawaiian Airlines has announced it will restart three-times-weekly service between Honolulu (HNL) and Fukuoka (FUK) beginning April 28, 2023.

Hawaiian, which today offers daily service between HNL and Tokyo’s Haneda (HND) and Narita Airports (NRT) and Osaka’s Kansai Airport (KIX), will operate flight HA827 from HNL to FUK on Tuesdays, Fridays and Sundays at 1:35 p.m., arriving into FUK at 6:40 p.m. the following day.

Hawaiian, Hawai’i’s largest and longest-serving airline, inaugurated FUK service in November 2019 before suspending the route in March 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Hawaiian will continue to operate its Japan routes with its 278-seat, spacious wide-body Airbus A330 aircraft, which feature 18 Premium Cabin lie-flat leather seats, 68 of its popular Extra Comfort seats, and 192 Main Cabin seats.

Hawaiian Airlines pilots reach tentative agreement on new contract

Hawaiian Airlines pilots, represented by the Air Line Pilots Association, Int’l, have reached a tentative agreement with management on a new four-year contract that includes substantial pay increases, including current industry-leading rates for the carrier’s new cargo operation.

The agreement includes an average 32.9 percent pay increase over the duration of the deal for HAL’s five aircraft types, including an average 16.6 percent increase on date of signing. It adds a signing bonus, raises company retirement contributions, creates a new health reimbursement account, increases schedule flexibility, and improves pilot quality of life.

One of the highlights of the proposed agreement is the pay rate for Hawaiian’s future fleet of Airbus A330F freighters, which it will begin flying for Amazon in 2024. The A330F rates will be the highest in the industry, surpassing existing rates at cargo giants UPS and FedEx Express.The HAL ALPA MEC unanimously approved sending the tentative agreement to the airline’s 1,000 pilots for ratification and will open two weeks of ratification voting on January 27. If ratified, the agreement would take effect March 2.
