American Airlines is set to resume its long-haul service between Dallas Fort Worth International Airport (DFW) and Ellison Onizuka Kona International Airport at Keahole (KOA). The airline plans to operate this route seasonally from November 20, 2025, through February 28, 2026. Flights will run daily from November 20, 2025, until January 6, 2026. After a six-week break, daily flights will resume on February 12, 2026.
The route will be serviced by a Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner with a seating capacity of 234 passengers. This includes various classes such as Flagship Business pods and premium economy recliners. American Airlines last operated this route in January 2022.
This move follows Delta Air Lines' recent announcement of a new Kona route from Salt Lake City using a Boeing 767-300ER. The increased attention on Hawaii's Big Island comes despite it being less popular than other Hawaiian destinations like Oahu and Maui.
