Hawaiian Airlines has implemented a new fare structure for neighbor island travel that lowers ticket prices across all of its fare classes from 4 to 25 percent.
Under the new fare structure, the lowest fare for a one-way nonstop interisland flight (including taxes and mandatory federal fees) is $65 for travel from Honolulu to Kahului and Lïhu‘e.
Hawaiian Airlines parent company, Hawaiian Holdings, has also signed a Letter of Intent to acquire turbo-prop aircraft with the aim of establishing a subsidiary carrier to serve routes not currently in Hawaiian’s neighbor island system.
“We are committed to providing safe, frequent and reliable service that allows our residents to travel more easily between all the islands, and we believe the additional capacity and new fares will encourage that,” said Peter Ingram, Hawaiian’s executive vice president and chief commercial officer.
The turbo-prop subsidiary will allow Hawaiian to further expand capacity with daily flights to rural areas.
The lower fares come with restrictions.
