Virgin Australia will codeshare on Hawaiian Airlines services between Sydney and Honolulu and beyond on connecting services to the neighbouring islands of Maui, Kauai and The Big Island.
Hawaiian currently operates five weekly flights from Australia, and will increase to year-round daily departures from December 14.
Under the new agreement, Virgin Australia’s international airline V Australia will codeshare on Hawaiian operated flights between Australia and the Hawaiian Islands from October 31, with flights going on sale immediately.
Virgin Australia and Hawaiian Airlines have had an interline agreement in place since 2006, allowing Hawaiian Airlines’ passengers to connect to destinations throughout Australia and New Zealand.
This agreement also allows members of Virgin Australia’s frequent flyer programme Velocity to earn and redeem frequent flyer points on Hawaiian Airlines flights.
Following the implementation of the codeshare agreement, travellers will be able to purchase fares to and from Hawaii through V Australia.
