Alaska Airlines to Serve Honolulu from Oakland and San Jose

US carrier Alaska Airlines has announced plans to further expand its network to the Hawaiian Islands with the addition of daily non-stop flights to Honolulu from Oakland and San Jose. The carrier will introduce the flights on April 10, 2012 and which complement its existing daily non-stop flights from Oakland and San Jose to Hawaii's other three major destinations: Kona, on the Big Island; Lihue, on the island of Kauai; and Kahului, Maui.

Alaska Airlines is one of the principal players in the Hawaiian market. It will now offer nine daily flights to Hawaii from Oakland, San Jose and Sacramento, while during the peak winter travel season, it will offer 24 flights a day to Hawaii from Anchorage and seven West Coast cities, including Bellingham, Seattle, Portland, San Diego as well as Oakland, San Jose and Sacramento.

"These new flights provide customers in the Bay Area with convenient daily service to all four of the major Hawaiian Islands, including the Big Island, Maui, Kauai and now Oahu," said Joe Sprague, Vice President of Marketing, Alaska Airlines.
