ANA and Hawaiian Airlines Agree Codesharing on Passenger Flights

Japanese carrier All Nippon Airways (ANA) and Hawaiian Airlines have signed a codeshare agreement for passenger flights within Japan and Hawaii, as well as ANA-operated flights between Honolulu and Tokyo Haneda Airport.

The agreement was signed by Shinichiro Ito, president and CEO of ANA, and Mark Dunkerley, president and CEO of Hawaiian Airlines.

Hawaiian Airlines and ANA began cargo codesharing in December 2010. Under this agreement, ANA placed its ‘NH’ code on Hawaiian’s daily Tokyo Haneda-Honolulu service.

Starting on January 19, ANA customers will be able to book connecting flights on Hawaiian Airlines linking Honolulu with Kailua-Kona, Lihue, Hilo and Kahului through ANA.

In addition, Hawaiian Airlines will place its ‘HA’ flight code on ANA-operated flights between Tokyo Haneda 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's first Boeing 787, the first 787 delivered to a customer, landed at Tokyo Haneda Airport on September 27, 2011 following its delivery flight from Seattle

ANA and Hawaiian linked their frequent flyer programs on December 28. 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.
