Altogether, these changes mean new opportunities for travelers, including those with Delta SkyMiles, to visit Hawaii when colder weather hits much of the country.
Delta's newest Hawaii route from Salt Lake City will begin on Dec. 19, as announced by the Atlanta-based carrier. The airline will operate its Kona route using a Boeing 767-300ER through March 28, 2026. Currently, there are no plans to use Boeing 767s equipped with Premium Select recliners on this route.
This marks Delta's third Kona route; it already connects to Hawaii Island via Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) and Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA) hubs.
For Salt Lake City travelers, Kona will be Delta's third Hawaiian destination from this airport. Delta already offers flights from Utah to Honolulu and Maui.
It was anticipated that there would be modest growth for Delta at its Salt Lake City hub in2025. According to aviation analytics firm Cirium data reports , total departures duringthe first half of theyear were set torise nearly5% overlast year .
