Summary

Delta Air Lines canceled its nonstop Boston to Honolulu flight, set to launch in December 2026, effective January 5, 2027. The route, previously operated by Delta and Hawaiian Airlines, was cut due to low demand. It had been reintroduced earlier this year as part of a Hawaii expansion. Delta said it regularly adjusts its network to match customer needs. The airline still plans to operate a large Hawaii schedule this winter, including new service from Minneapolis to Maui.
