Hawaiian Airlines is beefing up its schedule for summer travel.

Hawaiian will operate the routes with a mix of Airbus A330 and A321neo aircraft.
“We’re encouraged by the robust demand for travel to Hawaii this summer season and these
increases signal a healthy return
in our key North America markets,” Brent Overbeek, senior vice president — chief revenue officer at Hawaiian Airlines, said in a statement. “We’re also excited to add a fourth HNL-LAX option, and second redeye flight, twice per week making other U.S. Mainland
connections seamless and
convenient.”

The additional flight to Boston will be on Thursdays to bring
the weekly total to five. The extra flight will run from June 15 to
