Delta Air Lines is adding a 17th route from the U.S. mainland to Hawaii this coming winter \u2014 and is connecting its Salt Lake City International Airport (SLC) hub with a new Hawaiian island in the process.<\/p>\n

This December, Delta will launch new nonstop service from SLC to Ellison Onizuka Kona International Airport at Keahole (KOA) on the Big Island.<\/p>\n

The new flights will kick off just in time for the holiday season and run through the winter months.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Delta will also deploy bigger jets and more weekly flights on a handful of additional Hawaii routes next winter \u2014 particularly during the peak holiday season, the carrier announced Friday.<\/p>\n

Altogether, it’ll mean new opportunities for travelers \u2014 including those with a stash of Delta SkyMiles<\/a> \u2014 to visit the Aloha State when the weather again turns cold throughout much of the country.<\/p>\n

Delta’s new Salt Lake City route to Hawaii<\/h2>\n

Delta’s newest Hawaii route will take flight Dec. 19, the Atlanta-based carrier said Friday.<\/p>\n

The carrier will fly its Kona route with a Boeing 767-300ER through March 28, 2026. We should note that, as of now, Delta does not<\/em> plan to deploy its 767s sporting Premium Select recliners on the Salt Lake City-Kona route, a spokesperson said. The carrier has some 767-300s featuring the premium economy cabin and others without it.<\/p>\n

This will be the airline’s third Kona route; it currently connects to Hawaii Island via its Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) and Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA) hubs on the West Coast.<\/p>\n
