Hawaiian Airlines announced the resumption of its services to New Zealand starting July 2nd with three weekly flights. The company will resume operations after more than two years due to health restrictions due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
“Our return in July comes at just the right time, as New Zealanders looking to escape winter can now take a much-needed tropical getaway to the Hawaiian Islands or visit the United States,” said Andrew Stanbury, regional director for Australia and New Zealand at Hawaiian Airlines.
“The resumption of our service to New Zealand, along with the restart of our service to Sydney in December, completes the reopening of our market to Oceania, an integral piece of our company’s post-pandemic recovery,” added Stanbury.
