Hawaiian Airlines to Offer Service to Taipei

Hawaiian Airlines has announced that starting the summer of 2013, they will be offering nonstop service from Honolulu to Taipei. President and CEO of Hawaiian Airlines, Mark Dunkerley, stated, “We have long known that there is demand for a Hawaii vacation in Taiwan, but visits have been impeded by the cost, complexity and time it has taken its citizens to apply for a U.S. visitor visa. Now that Taiwan is part of the U.S. Visa Waiver Program, we are delighted to be adding Taipei as the latest city in Hawaiian’s growing Asia network. This new flight will help to further increase arrivals from this region. Following Korea’s entrance to the Visa Waiver Program, arrivals from Korea have increased by double digits year over year. With the re-establishment of nonstop service, we would anticipate seeing similar growth from Taiwan.” Hawaiian plans to offer this service three times per week.
