Chief executive Mark Dunkerley said the introduction of the flights “reflect the strength of the Queensland market”.

Flights will depart Brisbane at 6.35pm on Wednesday, Friday and Sunday, arriving in Hawaii at 7.50am the same day.
The return departs Honolulu at 9.45am every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday, arriving into Brisbane at 4pm the following day.

The flights will connect with a same carrier, same day service to Maui, Kauai and Hawaii Island.

It will take Hawaiian’s daily flights to Australia to 10 and add 40,000 seats annually to the route. Daily A330 services already operate to Sydney.
