Hawaiian Airlines to suspend Boston route
"It's always a difficult decision to suspend a route, especially in cities like Seoul, which we have enjoyed serving for over 14 years," Hawaiian CEO Joe Sprague said in a prepared statement. "However, despite our team's best efforts, soft post-pandemic travel demand from Asia combined with various market challenges have persisted in Seoul, as well as in Fukuoka and Boston, both of which we entered in 2019."
Hawaiian currently flies five times per week to Seoul, four times per week to Boston and three times weekly to Fukuoka. It's the only airline currently serving Honolulu-Boston. Delta offered the route for the first time last winter on a seasonal basis but is not scheduled to resume it, according to Cirium data. Hawaiian is also alone on Honolulu-Fukuoka.
Korean Air, Asiana and Premia Air all serve Honolulu-Seoul.
For the holiday season, Hawaiian will replace the three suspended routes with an extra daily flight between Honolulu and Los Angeles and with two additional weekly flights between Honolulu and Sydney.
Hawaiian will also add a daily frequency between Honolulu and Seattle from late November through mid-April. And beginning in March, Hawaiian will fly twice weekly between Honolulu and Tahiti, up from once a week.

How to Get to Near High-Speed Rail—on the Cheap
Forget flashy bullet trains and gazillion-dollar tunnels: Alon Levy, a fellow at the NYU Marron Institute of Urban Management, says America's railways could reduce travel times and transform intercity trips with simpler, far cheaper fixes. In a new study, Levy and co-authors make the case that with a combination of smarter scheduling, new track switches that allow trains to approach stations at faster speeds and a fleet of modern electric trains, the Northeast Corridor connecting Boston to Washington, D.C., could be humming with near high-speed rail service. Imagine a Boston-to-New York City trip that takes about two hours—instead of the roughly 3.5 hours it can take today—for a fraction of the cost of prestige megaprojects.
