United Airlines has just started a new nonstop service between Dulles International Airport in Washington D.C. and Honolulu International Airport. This route takes an estimated 9.5 hours to travel and the Hawaii Tourism Authority hopes that thanks to United Airline’s move an additional $135 million in spending and $14 million and tax revue will come to Hawaii each year. Mike McCartney, the President and CEO of the Hawaii Tourism Authority stated, ”United helped Hawaii’s tourism economy grow back in the 1970s, and they’ve been a great partner over the years. It’s good to see them step up. Now we need to stay on task and keep the momentum going forward.”
General Manager for United Airlines in Honolulu, Mike Navares, commented, ”Hawaii is our little corner of the world. We are the largest carrier to service Hawaii, and we appreciate all of our travel partners. We match capacity with demand. There’s been a lot of interest from Dulles. We think it’s going to be a very successful route.”
