Hawaiian Airlines has just filed an application with the U.S. Department of Transportation to offer a nonstop daily service between Haneda International Airport in Tokyo, Japan and with Kona's airport on the Big Island of Hawaii. Currently, there are no direct flights to the Big Island of Hawaii from Japan. If this flight is added, experts estimate that the route would generate $74 million of annual U.S. economic activity and support an additional 1,400 jobs. President and Chief Executive Officer for Hawaiian Airlines, Mark Dunkerley, stated, "Kona is Hawaii's second-largest destination market for Japanese visitors, and daily nonstop service from Tokyo would generate a substantial amount of foreign spending that will invigorate the local, state and national economies."
