Advertiser Staff and News Services

Hawaiian Airlines plans to discontinue its daily nonstop service from Honolulu to Ontario, Calif., on Feb. 29.

"The market is not sustaining our services," airline spokesman Keoni Wagner said of the service launched in June 2002.

He said the Boeing 767-300ER jets used would serve a new Sydney, Australia, route starting May 17, as well as its seasonal Seattle flights.

The Ontario area will continued to be served with daily flights out of Los Angeles.
