JAL restarting service to Kona

[Chunkster]

JAL seems to be opportunistically piggybacking on Hawaiian's successful efforts to get border control facilities restored at KOA. It will be interesting to see if both services persist long run. JAL naturally has a bigger customer base in Japan, but Hawaiian has the advantage of flying into Haneda, an airport many Tokyo residents prefer over Narita. Fare competition should indeed keep things reasonable.
