Hawaiian Airlines today announced that it will introduce its first-ever nonstop flight between Maui and Las Vegas, starting twice-weekly service on October 3. Peter Ingram, executive vice president and CFO of Hawaiian Airlines, said the addition of three new Airbus A330-200 aircraft to Hawaiian’s fleet this year is giving the company increased flexibility to expand its Las Vegas service.
Hawaiian’s new Las Vegas nonstop flight is designed for the travel convenience of Maui residents. Flight #32 will depart Kahului Airport on Mondays and Thursdays at 8:00 a.m. and arrive at McCarran International Airport at 4:35 p.m., giving enough time to enjoy a full evening in Las Vegas the first day. Flight #31 will depart Las Vegas on Sundays and Wednesdays at 6:25 p.m. and arrive on Maui at 9:25 p.m. When Daylight Saving Time begins, the Las Vegas departure and arrival times will be approximately one hour earlier.
Hawaiian will serve the Maui-Las Vegas route with its wide-body Boeing 767-300 aircraft seating up to 264 passengers, resulting in more than 2,000 new air seats per month.
