Delta announces new nonstop service between Twin Cities and Hawaii

Delta Air Lines is doubling its connections between Minnesota and Hawaii with the announcement of new nonstop service between the Twin Cities and Maui. 

Beginning Dec. 19, Delta will operate a new seasonal route between Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport (MSP) and the island of Maui’s Kahului Airport (OGG), Hawaii’s second- busiest airport. The flights will operate on Airbus A330-300 aircraft.

Maui will become MSP’s second Hawaiian destination. Delta already operates daily year-round service between MSP and Honolulu’s Daniel K. Inouye International Airport (HNL) on the island of Oahu. 

“We’re excited Delta is expanding its service to Hawaii to accommodate travelers seeking more warm and sunny vacation options over the winter and early spring seasons,” said Brian Ryks, CEO of the Metropolitan Airports Commission, which owns and operates MSP. “There’s strong demand for non-stop Maui service and we know this route will draw travelers to MSP from across Minnesota and the Upper Midwest.” 

Maui is MSP’s largest unserved nonstop destination. On average, 170 passengers travel from MSP to Maui each day during January, February and March. Passengers currently rely on connections through other airports to complete their travels. MSP is also Maui’s largest unserved destination.

“Maui has been a top requested destination for Minnesota customers and we’ve listened,” said Amy Martin, vice president of network planning for Delta Air Lines. “This new route strengthens connectivity to Hawaii from Delta’s hub at MSP and gives our customers even more opportunities to reach the islands, alongside the premium travel experience they expect on these long-haul flights.”

Delta serves as MSP’s largest global carrier, operating 365 peak-day departures to 136 destinations in 2026. Delta will begin offering the Maui flights for sale on Feb. 14, with service scheduled through April 2027. 

MSP is the 17th busiest U.S. airport by passengers, offering travelers nonstop service to 165 destinations, including 35 international routes to Mexico, Canada, Caribbean, Europe and Asia. MSP has been named the best mega airport for customer and traveler satisfaction in back-to-back years in the annual J.D. Power North America Airport Satisfaction Study. MSP has earned the highest ranking in customer satisfaction for mega airports in three out of the past four years.
