Hawaiian Airlines has announced that they will be entering a partnership with JetBlue Airways which will allow passengers to purchase a single ticket that will combine travel on both airlines. President and CEO of Hawaiian Airlines, Mark Dunkerley, stated, "What's important about this is connectivity on the East Coast. So in addition to New York, Hawaiian with its partnership with JetBlue will be able to bring all the major cities of the East Coast within an easy connection to Hawaii. We think the combination will be unstoppable."
The two airlines will allow members to earn loyalty points or miles while travel on the their respective carrier. President and CEO of JetBlue, Dave Barger, stated, "We're thrilled to partner with Hawaiian Airlines and look forward to welcoming them to our home in the Big Apple later this year. Our customers have long asked for options to the Aloha State."
