Delta is bringing back direct flights between Boston and Hawaii
The service begins Dec. 19.
Bostonians will again enjoy nonstop service between Boston and Hawaii in late 2026, Delta Air Lines announced on Friday.
Delta, a leading carrier at Logan International Airport, will begin service between Boston and Daniel K. Inouye International Airport in Honolulu on Dec. 19 as part of its winter seasonal schedule. It will once again become America’s longest domestic route.
Last year, Boston travelers could book nonstop flights to Hawaii on two airlines —Delta and Hawaiian Airlines. But those routes were cancelled last year and there is not currently a direct flight between New England and Hawaii.
Delta launched direct service between Boston and Honolulu in 2024 and suspended the service in 2025 “to align with consumer demand.” Then Hawaiian cancelled its direct flight between Boston and Honolulu in August because it was “underperforming.”

“The returning route reopens a long-haul leisure link between the Northeast and the islands, offering customers a single-flight escape to O‘ahu’s iconic shoreline, cultural landmarks and vibrant city-meets-beach experience,” wrote Delta officials in a press release.
The flights will operate daily during the peak holiday travel period in December and, after that, drop down to four times weekly for the winter season. Delta did not provide an end date for the seasonal service. Customers will travel on an Airbus A330-300.
“Hawaii plays an important role in our long-haul leisure network,” said Amy Martin, vice president of network planning for Delta Air Lines, in a statement. “This expansion strengthens connectivity from key U.S. hubs while giving customers more choice in how they reach the islands, alongside the premium travel experience they expect on these long-haul flights.”
