Sydney, 15 January 2008: Qantas announced today that it would increase its Honolulu services from three to four per week from 5 April, 2008.

He said the new service was in addition to the three weekly services departing Sydney at 7:45pm on Wednesday, Friday and Sunday.
Mr Borghetti said the services would be operated by a 229 seat, two-class Boeing 767-300 aircraft.
From 5 April, the Qantas Group will operate a total of nine services per week between Sydney and Honolulu, including five Jetstar flights.
