American Airlines has announced the return of its direct flights between Chicago and Honolulu, a route it last operated in 2021. The service is set to resume on October 26, using Boeing 787-8 aircraft. While the schedule details are yet to be released, it is anticipated that the flights will operate daily.
United Airlines currently serves this route with 11 weekly flights on Boeing 787-10 aircraft. United's schedule includes daily and additional services on select days, providing competition for American Airlines as they re-enter this market.
The resumption of this route is part of American Airlines' broader strategy to increase capacity and introduce new destinations from Chicago O'Hare International Airport (ORD). Ben Humphrey, Vice President of ORD Operations at American Airlines, stated: “O’Hare has always been a vital hub for American, connecting the Midwest to our global network and bringing travelers from across the world to Chicago for business and pleasure."
