Hawaiian Is SUSPENDING ROUTES: Boston & 2 Asia Links Cut This November — What Travelers Should Do

Hawaiian Airlines is reorganizing its trans-Pacific network and will soon suspend three underperforming routes from Honolulu (HNL) this November 2025 – Boston, Seoul–Incheon, and Fukuoka. The carrier says it will redeploy aircraft to boost flights where demand is strongest. Passengers on affected flights are being offered rebooking or refunds.

Why are Hawaiian SUSPENDING ROUTES now?

• Network optimization: Hawaiian Airlines says the three routes have been underperforming, and capacity will be shifted to markets with strong demand- Sydney, Papeete, Los Angeles, Seattle and across the inter-island network.
• Timing: Changes can take effect in November 2025.
• Not a safety issue: This is a commercial scheduling decision, unrelated to any emergency landing or safety event.

The three routes being suspended

• Honolulu (HNL) – Boston (BOS) (4x weekly) — also known as the U.S.’s longest domestic flight; service ends in November.
• Honolulu (HNL) – Seoul, Incheon (ICN) (5x weekly) — suspended in November. 
• Honolulu (HNL) – Fukuoka (FUK) (3x weekly) — suspended in November.

What Hawaiian is adding or increasing instead

Hawaiian plans to boost capacity on stronger routes include Honolulu–Sydney, Honolulu–Papeete, and additional flying to Los Angeles and Seattle, while supporting operations across the Hawaiʻi network. 

What to do

1. Check your booking: If you booked tickets on the suspended routes for travel from November 2025. Contact airline about rebooking or a full refund. 
2. Consider alternatives: From the U.S. East Coast connects via LAX/SEA to HNL. ICN/FUK consider connections via NRT/HND/KIX or other carriers until schedules settle. (Cross check with your airline.)
3. Watch for schedule sweeps: follow as airlines finalize winter timetables ~60–90 days out; monitor your PNR and set fare alerts.
