Travelers on Hawaiian Airlines can fly nonstop between Logan International Airport and Honolulu next month as Hawaii eases travel restrictions due to the coronavirus pandemic.
The carrier, which suspended most of its flying in late March due to the global health crisis, will resume flights between the following six cities and Honolulu on August 1: Boston, New York, Las Vegas, Phoenix, San Jose, Calif., and Oakland, Calif., the company announced on Wednesday.
Beginning August 1, Hawaii will waive its 14-day quarantine requirement for travelers who test negative for the virus per a new pre-travel testing program.
The program will require all out-of-state travelers get tested for COVID-19 before traveling to Hawaii and provide proof of a negative result upon arriving to avoid the 14-day quarantine. Testing will not be provided at the airport, and those who cannot provide proof of a negative test will be subject to the 14-day quarantine, according to the office of Gov. David Ige.
“The layered safety measures put in place to protect the health of our local communities promise to make travel to and from Hawai’i more accessible than in recent months,” Peter Ingram, president and CEO of Hawaiian Airlines, said in a press release. “We look forward to welcoming onboard guests who support and observe the protocols in place for responsible travel.”
The airline has been operating a reduced neighbor island network and once-daily service between Honolulu and Los Angeles, Seattle, and San Francisco only for essential flights and cargo transportation throughout the pandemic. The carrier resumed once-daily service between Honolulu and Portland, Ore., on July 1, and will resume once-daily service between San Diego and Sacramento, Calif., on July 15, select island routes to California on Aug. 1, and between Honolulu and American Samoa on Aug. 6, according to the company.
With the added routes, Hawaiian plants to operate an average of 252 weekly flights between Hawaii and the U.S. mainland and 114 daily flights within the Hawaiian Islands. International service remains suspended due to restrictions on inbound travel, according to the airline.
