Hawaiian Airlines ending service between Orlando and Honolulu after less than two years
ORLANDO, Fla. - Hawaiian Airlines is suspending its service between Orlando and Honolulu less than two years after launching non-stop flights at Orlando International Airport.
In a tweet to a passenger whose flight was canceled, Hawaiian Airlines said: "We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience to your travel plans. We have made the difficult decision to suspend our flights between Orlando and Honolulu."
"We have made the decision to suspend our Orlando service after more than a year of serving the Central Florida market. This is a result of re-aligning our network to better meet strong demand in North America and resurgence of international travel.," the airline said in a statement late Saturday.
"We are grateful for the support from the Greater Orlando Aviation Authority and the residents of Central Florida who warmly welcomed us."
Hawaiian Airlines launched non-stop flights between OIA and Honolulu's Daniel K. Inouye International Airport in March 2021.
The airline said its last flight out of Orlando International Airport is scheduled for September 7, 2022, and its final arriving flight will be the following day, September 8.
Those who booked flights beyond Sept. 8 would receive full refunds, according to the airline.
FOX 35 reached out to the Greater Orlando Aviation Authority for comment, but did not receive an immediate response.
