Aloha Airlines announced yesterday it will add several new mainland flights starting next month.

The airline said it will begin nonstop service between Vancouver, Canada, and Kona and said it will start nonstop Oakland-Kauai service in June.

Aloha Air Aloha will add start Burbank-Maui service Feb. 14, and add a Sacramento link in April.

The airline yesterday issued details late yesterday of the new North American services, some of which were first announced in May.

The Sacramento link will be a same-plane flight in what Aloha called a "tag-on" service. Passengers boarding in the California capital will be able to stay with the plane when it stops in Burbank and continue on to Maui.

The new Burbank-Maui service will run four times a week until it goes daily March 13. On April 18, Aloha will add a daily Sacramento extension, which it said will provide a convenient service between Northern and Southern California as well as opening Sacramento to the Maui market.

Aloha already flies between Burbank and Honolulu and offers daily service between Burbank and Las Vegas.

The airline launched Vancouver-Honolulu service in June and added Vancouver-Maui in November. Starting April 6, it will offer a Vancouver-Kona nonstop once a week on Sundays. At that time, Vancouver-Honolulu service will be cut from four flights a week to three -- on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. Vancouver-Maui will also be three times a week, on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays.

Later additions will include four flights a week between Oakland and Lihue, Kauai, beginning June 19.

Aloha Airlines currently has daily nonstop flights from Oakland to Honolulu and from Oakland to Maui. It also has a daily tag-on service between Oakland and Las Vegas.

All its North American services use the extended-range Boeing 737-700 jets.
