(TAN): Air Canada has welcomed Hawaii’s announcement that Canadians are now eligible to be exempt from the state’s mandatory 14-day quarantine on arrival in the Hawaiian Islands via a pre-travel testing process.
“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,” said Timothy Liu, Managing Director, Sales Planning at Air Canada.

Air Canada’s services to Hawaii from Vancouver begins on December 17 with four weekly flights to Maui and three weekly flights to Honolulu. From Calgary, flights to Maui begin December 18 and are planned to ramp up to multiple times a week.
Air Canada has advised customers 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.
