Hawaiian frequency to YSSY

[John Thoroughgood]

Is there any substance to a rumour my brother-in-law heard this week that Hawaiian will shortly increase their Sydney flights to a daily frequency.
He was however, unable to relate the source of the rumour.

[Dan Hammond]

I have heard the same thing

John,

the rumour is correct. Hawiian is to go daily for a period of a couple of months, then will reduce to 5, then to 4...

Hawaiian Airlines in Northern Summer 2011 season is increasing Honolulu – Sydney service from 4 weekly to Daily, from 06APR11 to 31JUL11. From 01AUG11, service then reduce to 5 weekly, and returns to normal 4 weekly level from 01OCT11.
Schedule below:

HA451 HNL1240 – 1920+1SYD 763 D
HA452 SYD2120 – 1100HNL 763 D
From 01AUG11 to 30SEP11, HNL departs on Day x17, SYD departs on Day x12

Shame it's on the old 763's, will be nice when the A330's are running the route.

[John Thoroughgood]

Thanks very much Stefan!
Cheers John

Daily service starts Wed 6 April and runs through to 1 August.

After that, service drops to 5 x weekly as the aircraft will be used to operate new service, either to the US east coast or most likely HNL-KIX. There are currently no plans to reduce back to 4 x weekly.

The A332 won't be seen in SYD until the fleet numbers increase, possibly late 2012.

Taken from Airliners.net but this post appears to be from a good source

HA's new international cabin service which was introduced on the new flights from HNL to both HND and ICN will make its debut on SYD and MNL routes starting on May 1st. All four international routes will see meals prepared by Hawaii's leading chef, Chai Chaowasaree from Chai's Island Bistro, as well as upgraded complimentary beer and wine selections in all cabins.

Sounds like improved cabin service, rather than improved aircraft (330)
