Continental announces codesharing deal with Island Air

Continental Airlines today announced it will begin a codesharing agreement with Island Air this fall, allowing Continental customers flying to Honolulu to make connections to the outer islands on flights operated by Island Air.

Island Air serves more destinations in the state of Hawai'i than any other airline. Cities to be served by Island Air from Honolulu International Airport under the 'CO' code include: Kahului and Kapalua West-Maui on Maui; Kona and Hilo on Hawai'i; Lihue on Kaua'i; Lana'i and Moloka'i.

Continental customers will need to check in only once for these connecting flights, receiving seat assignments and boarding passes to their final destination as well as through service luggage transfers.
