Alaska Airlines yesterday announced new service between the Mainland and Maui, Hawaii. Year-round daily flights between Seattle and Kahului on the island of Maui are scheduled to begin July 17. Seasonal flights between Anchorage and Kahului will operate twice a week from Oct. 31 to April 25, 2009.
"When we announced the start of our long-awaited service to Honolulu and Kauai last year, our customers were delighted, and they immediately began asking when Alaska Airlines would offer flights to Maui and other destinations in Hawaii," said Gregg Saretsky, Alaska Airlines' executive vice president of flight and marketing. "The time has come for us to expand the leisure travel options we can offer our customers and Mileage Plan members."
Brad Tilden, Alaska Airlines' executive vice president of planning and finance, noted that the sudden closures of Aloha and ATA Airlines "significantly reduced service between the Mainland and Hawaii. We are pleased to be able to offer these additional flights and we're continuing to study other possibilities for more service."
The new flights will provide convenient connections to travelers in other cities served by Alaska Airlines and Horizon Air throughout the Pacific Northwest and state of Alaska.
