Delta yesterday boosted its holiday destination network by introducing a new Hawaiian market, while adding two more routes and expanding others in the Caribbean. The airline will begin flying from Atlanta to Kona, Hawaii, via Salt Lake City from Dec. 1. There will be no plane change on the stopover, with Boeing 767-400s being used for the flight. Delta already flies to Honolulu and Maui, and with the new route will have 20 daily roundtrip flights to Hawaii from the U.S.
