27 November 2020: The beginning of holiday season has shown a slight boost in the aviation market recovery. Travellers and vacationers going to Hawaii have something to look forward to. Hawaii government has made an important announcement in the wake of upcoming holiday season. Now the Canadians are exempt from the mandatory 14-day quarantine on arrival in the Hawaiian Islands via a pre-travel testing process. Air Canada welcomes this move, their services from Vancover will start from 17th Dec with four weekly flights to Maui and three weekly flights to Honolulu.
“We applaud Governor Ige’s announcement that Hawaii’s science-based, pre-travel testing initiative is now available for Canadians to be exempt from mandatory quarantine requirements on arrival in Hawaii, and we are very pleased Air Canada is a preferred airline in Hawaii’s Safe Travels Program. We have long advocated for safe and science-based strategies over blanket quarantines to enable a safe and secure resumption of air travel. Air Canada’s industry-leading Air Canada CleanCare+ suite of biosafety standards and preventative measures across its operations means customers can always book and travel Air Canada with confidence,” said Timothy Liu, Managing Director, Sales Planning at Air Canada.
Customers travelling are advised to check applicable websites including those of their final destination and the Government of Canada website to review any entry document or quarantine requirements, which may evolve and change without notice. Alberta residents may be eligible to participate in the joint Government of Canada and Government of Alberta pilot project to test arriving residents as part of reducing quarantine.
