“We are thrilled to make our authentic brand of warm Hawaiian hospitality accessible to more New Zealand and Japanese travelers,” said Peter Ingram, executive vice president and chief commercial officer for Hawaiian Airlines.

Hawaiian Airlines will increase its New Zealand operations from three to five flights per week between Auckland and Honolulu, starting in March.
