Delta Airlines discontinue flights to Fukuoka

According to Nishinippon Shinbum, a local news paper in Fukuoka Prefecture, reported today that Delta Airlines will take the Honolulu - Fukuoka route out of service on May 8.

The airline began operating a scheduled service to Fukuoka in December 2011. Although their current load factor is not too bad, however it will be decided to suspend the service because of considering the most effective utilization of aircraft. This route is currently operated 5 flights a week.

In the past there were direct flights between two cities by Japan Airlines, Hawaiian Airlines and Northwest Airlines, but they are gone now.
