US Airways begins new, daily, nonstop service between its largest hub in Charlotte, North Carolina and Honolulu, Hawaii on the island of Oahu, creating more travel options for the airline's customers on the East Coast. The year-round flight complements US Airways' daily nonstop service to Oahu, Maui, Kauai and the Big Island from its Phoenix hub. The flight will be operated with Boeing 767 aircraft with seating for 18 in First Class and 186 in the main cabin.

US Airways Managing Director, Network Planning Mike Britman said, "Hawaii is one of US Airways' most popular vacation destinations, and we're pleased to provide our customers throughout the East Coast with easy access to Honolulu."

Oahu is the third new nonstop destination from US Airways' Charlotte hub to be added this year. Last spring, US Airways resumed service between Charlotte and Paris after an eight-year hiatus and earlier this week, the airline began its first-ever service to South America with daily, nonstop flights to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Earlier this month US Airways also announced that it will begin daily, year-round service to Rome on May 13, 2010.
