Hawaii's Ellison Onizuka Kona International Airport is set to see the return of two key routes this winter. American Airlines and Delta Air Lines have announced plans to resume flights from Dallas and Salt Lake City, respectively, utilizing widebody aircraft for these services.

Delta Air Lines will expand its service with a new nonstop route from Salt Lake City to Kona, beginning December 19, 2025. This service will operate on the Boeing 767-300ER until March 28, 2026. Delta had previously served this route between 2006 and 2007. Additionally, Delta will increase its connectivity from Salt Lake City to Hawaii by serving Maui four times weekly starting October 6, moving to daily in November and twice daily from December 19 to January 5.

Delta also plans earlier flights from Atlanta Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport beginning November 6 on the Airbus A330-300. These flights will continue throughout the winter season. Moreover, Delta will add a second daily flight between Atlanta and Honolulu during the holiday peak period using the Boeing 767-300ER.
