ATLANTA and HONOLULU, Sept. 9 /PRNewswire/ -- Hawaiian Airlines and Delta Air Lines today announced the signing of a new codesharing agreement that will offer Delta's customers access to connecting flights within the Hawaiian Islands for the first time.

Beginning Sept. 15, customers will be able to connect between their Delta flights and 70 daily inter-island flights operated by Hawaiian Airlines on a single ticket. Hawaiian flights will connect Delta customers between Honolulu and Kahului, Lihue, Kona and Hilo, as well as between Kona and Kahului. Fares will be available for sale at delta.com and other ticketing channels Sept. 12.

"While Delta is already a leader in service to Hawaii, with flights between the islands and 9 cities in the U.S. and Japan, this new codeshare agreement with Hawaiian Airlines will allow customers to connect beyond our main Hawaiian gateways to 5 popular vacation points beyond," said Charlie Pappas, Delta's managing director – Alliances.

Delta this fall will offer nonstop service between Honolulu and Atlanta; Detroit; Los Angeles; Minneapolis-St. Paul, Minn.; Seattle; San Francisco; and Salt Lake City. It also offers nonstop service between Los Angeles and Kahului airport in Maui, Lihue and Kona, and daily nonstop flights between Honolulu and Tokyo-Narita and Osaka, Japan. Delta also has announced plans to add new nonstop flights between Honolulu and Nagoya, Japan, effective Dec. 22.

Hawaiian and Delta's new codesharing agreement expands on an earlier frequent flier agreement between the two carriers that allows their respective frequent flier members to earn and redeem miles for travel on either carrier. Delta and Hawaiian have also agreed to enhance award availability by allowing SkyMiles members to book additional redemption awards on inter-island flights operated by Hawaiian. SkyMiles members will now have access to enhanced availability of awards within the islands of Hawaii.

The 747-200 was long in the tooth, but maybe the -400 will someday allow the 747 to re-enter the airline cargo world.
I agree that it is still relevant...didn't mean to imply otherwise. I'd love to see more of them, of course.

My guess is it depends on the actions of other corporations, DOT, DOJ et al.

They do have access to markets. Code shares may suffice, but it truly depends.

The bad: The junior guys won't like that, just sayin

The good: We have more than a few commuters from PHNL that would love to get back to the islands. (FNWA pilot base)

Don't know, anyone know how many MD-90s have actually rolled onto the property AND then rolled onto the line? Man I wish widgethead.net was still around.

No word on JAL's fleets new homes yet either. At least not in public locations.

Yeah, it was frikkin early AND dark. Its one thing to get up at 2:00 AM and fly an airplane, its another to get up at 2:00 AM and have to act like your intelligent. My brain CBs were popping left and right.
