HONOLULU, Feb. 26, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- In a year that
tested the airline industry, Hawaiian Airlines held on to its top
spot as the nation's most punctual carrier. For the 17th
consecutive year, Hawaiian has enjoyed the best on-time performance
record with 87.5 percent of its flights arriving on time last year,
according to the U.S. Department of Transportation. Hawaii's hometown airline began its on-time
performance streak in 2004.
"I couldn't be prouder of our team members for overcoming the
most challenging year in our industry's history to ensure our
guests continued to enjoy our leading on-time reliability," said
Peter Ingram, president and CEO at
Hawaiian Airlines. "My mahalo goes out to each member of our 'ohana
for their dedication to our guests during these exceptionally
trying times."
In 2020, as a result of suppressed demand and travel
restrictions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, Hawaiian operated a
reduced flight network and suspended most of its international
routes. As the state of Hawai'i reopens for travel, Hawaiian has
gradually resumed nonstop service connecting the islands with 13
U.S. gateway cities, more than any other airline, and restarted
flights between Honolulu and
Japan and South Korea. In March and April, Hawaiian will
launch four new North America
routes, including nonstop service between Honolulu and Austin, Ontario,
Calif. and Orlando, as well
as daily nonstop service between Long
Beach and Maui.
