Big Island Real Estate – Hawaiian Airlines Hopes to Create Nonstop from Kona to Tokyo

Hawaiian Airlines has announced that they have submitted an application with the U.S. Department of Transportation to create a daily nonstop route from Kona on the Big Island of Hawaii to Haneda International Airport in Tokyo, Japan. Japan Airlines previously had a route to the Big Island of Hawaii, but tough economic conditions forced them to cancel that service almost two years ago. Hawaiian Airlines spokesman Keoni Wagner commented, “We’ve seen what the loss of nonstop service has done to the economy of the Big Island and we think there’s an opportunity to restore the service now. We’ve been talking with community leaders on the Big Island and will be reaching out for support of our application.”
