Hawaiian Airlines has announced that they will start a non-stop service from Honolulu to Beijing, China on April 16, 2014, pending their receiving approval from the United States and Chinese regulatory systems. According to the airlines, they would run three direct flights per week. The Hawaii Tourism Authority estimates that this new service would increase annual visitor spending in Hawaii by $81 million and increase tax revenue for the state by $8.47 million.
However, Hawaiian Airlines also announced that they will be discontinuing their non-stop service to Manila, Philippines, due to under performance. The Chief Commercial Officer for the airlines, Peter Ingram, explained that higher fuel prices and low fares have hurt that route. The final flight from Honolulu to Manila would occur on July 31, 2013.
