TOKYO —

ANA and Hawaiian Airlines, Hawaii’s leading carrier, have announced the expansion of their marketing and operational partnership with the signing of a code-share agreement for passenger flights within Japan and Hawaii. The agreement was signed between Shinichiro Ito, president and CEO of ANA, and Mark Dunkerley, president and CEO of Hawaiian Airlines.

Hawaiian and ANA commenced cargo codesharing in December 2010. Under this agreement, ANA placed its “NH” code on Hawaiian’s daily Haneda-Honolulu service.

ANA customers can now book connecting flights on Hawaiian Airlines between Honolulu and Kailua-Kona/ Lihue/Hilo and Kahului through ANA. In addition, Hawaiian Airlines will place its flight code on ANA operated flights between Tokyo’s Haneda International Airport and Honolulu, as well as flights that connect to Hawaiian’s own daily Haneda service from Chitose, Osaka (Itami), Osaka (Kansai), Hiroshima, Fukuoka, Oita, Kagoshima and Okinawa, enabling its customers to book these flights directly through Hawaiian.

ANA and Hawaiian Airlines started a joint frequent flyer program on Dec 27. With this partnership, ANA Mileage Club members can now earn and redeem miles on all Hawaiian Airlines operated neighbor island flights. At the same time, Hawaiian’s HawaiianMiles members can now earn and redeem miles on all ANA operated codeshare flights.
