NINOY AQUINO INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT - Hawaiian Airlines launched yesterday its non-stop service between Honolulu and Manila with the arrival of its maiden flight from the Aloha state.

Hawaiian Airlines flight HA-455 touched down at Runway 06-24 of the premier terminal with Mark Dunkerley, Hawaiian Airlines president and chief executive officer, leading the passengers.

Using a Boeing 767-300 Extended Range wide-body jet, the maiden flight arrived at the NAIA with Sen. Richard Gordon as one of the passengers. They were welcomed at the airport by US Ambassador Kristie Kenney and Airport General Manager Alfonso Cusi.

Dunkerley, in his arrival statement said, "Hawaiian Airlines has a long and distinguished record of landmark achievements in its eight decades of service and our new flight to Manila is the latest in many more to come."

"We have been energized by the outpouring of support from the community, and look forward to providing our Manila customers with our distinctive brand of service that has made Hawaiian a recognized leader in the country," he added.

Manila is Hawaiian’s first gateway into Asia. The new service also makes Hawaiian the only US carrier providing non-stop service between Manila and Honolulu, and will more than double capacity on the route.

Hawaiian Airline’s inaugural return flight from Manila will arrive in Honolulu on Thursday, April 17, at 11:15 am, with 100 business and community leaders from the Philippines on board.

Hawaiian’s flight HA- 455 departs Honolulu International Airport on Sundays, Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 12:30 p.m. and arrive at the NAIA the following day at 5:15 p.m. Return flight HA- 456 departs Manila every Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday at 7 p.m. and arrive in Honolulu the same day at 11:15 a.m.

As an introductory offer, Hawaiian is offering a special round-trip fare between Manila and Honolulu for 9 plus taxes and fees.
