Delta Air Lines announced on February 13, 2026, that it was restoring nonstop service between Boston Logan International Airport (BOS) and Daniel K. Inouye International Airport (HNL) in Honolulu, the longest domestic route in the United States at 5,095 miles (8,199 km). The schedule ran from December 19, 2026, through April 25, 2027, on the 282-seat Airbus A330-300. By late August, Delta had cut 81% of the planned departures. The route now operates for 17 days, ending January 3, 2027, and will not return in winter 2027/2028.
