Sep 08 (Kyodo) - All Nippon Airways Co. will resume flights from Japan to Hawaii in October after suspending its service to the popular U.S. destination about six months ago due to the coronavirus pandemic, sources familiar with the plan said Monday.
The Japanese carrier has decided to operate two round trips in the month between Narita, east of Tokyo, and Honolulu, mainly targeting people who wish to travel for business or to study abroad, the sources said.
The flights using a Boeing 787 passenger jet will depart Japan on Oct. 5 and Oct. 19, but the service between the two cities is set to remain suspended on other days.
The company, which suspended the service in late March, will consider its plan for November and thereafter depending on the demand.
