Hawaiian Airlines has said that it will launch direct regular flights linking Haneda Airport with Kona International Airport at Keahole on the Island of Hawaii on Dec. 21.
The flights will be the first between Japan and Kona since Japan Airlines ended it service linking Narita Airport in Chiba Prefecture with Kona in 2010.
The island, the largest of the Hawaiian islands, is rich in nature.
It has the Kilauea volcano, which is popular with Japanese tourists. On the route, the company will use Airbus A330-200 aircraft with 294 seats. The first flight from Kona will depart on Dec. 20.
In aviation talks in February, Japan and the United States agreed to allow airlines of each country to operate five round-trip flights using Haneda per day in daytime hours and one in late night and early morning hours.
Before that, four round-trip flights between Haneda and the United States per day were operated by each side, only in late night and early morning hours.
