ANA and Hawaiian Launch Cargo Code-Share

TOKYO – December 20, 2010 –

All Nippon Airways and Hawaiian Airlines today unveiled plans to commence a cargo code-sharing service between Tokyo and Honolulu from December 22, 2010. Under the agreement, ANA will place its “NH” code on Hawaiian’s Haneda-Honolulu service, which operates daily using a Boeing 767-300ER.

 

ANA began services from Tokyo’s brand new International terminal at Haneda International Airport to Honolulu on October 31, 2010, while Hawaiian Airlines launched its first scheduled operations between Honolulu and Haneda on November 17. The new

code-share not only covers cargo shipped direct from Haneda to Honolulu, but also aims to tap the market for freight between local cities throughout Japan and other Asian cities, and American cities beyond Honolulu.

 

Under a Letter of Agreement signed in October, the CEOs of both airlines agreed to explore bilateral cooperation in passenger and cargo code-sharing and frequent flyer programs, subject to government approval. Starting with their first cooperation in cargo,

ANA and Hawaiian aim to create further choice and flexibility to benefit their customers as their alliance develops.
