The accelerate/stop distance is increased with a wet/snowy runway. This is an over-generalized statement which is only partially true, depending on conditions. As this is a tech ops forum, I'd like to offer a few points of clarity to better answer haynflyer's question as it relates to takeoff perfo...
Jump to postUA363 EWR-HNL on January 16, 2023 left the gate a few minutes late at 9am with light snow falling. We went to the deice pad, got sprayed, and waited a few minutes. The pilot then made an announcement that he was waiting to reduce his takeoff weight(?) We were eventually returned to the terminal and ...
Jump to postSlightly off topic: can anyone enlighten me as to why it might cost $28M to fix the damaged stabilizer? Was there damage to the rear pressure bulkhead from the force of them impact? I know it's $28M cad and not usd, but still; seems a bit high. Second time one of these aircraft "rolled into som...

Hawaiian Airlines provides meals consistently on all it's flights flying outside the State of Hawaii. I just flew back from EWR-HNL non-stop on United and I got a stale roll, a cup of yogurt and I think a piece of fruit for breakfast. I'm used to abysmal free food options and didn't mind since the b...
Jump to postOh wow! Thanks for the update. Those are indeed great gates to at. I wonder if it will be permanent?
Jump to postThe inter-island vs Hawaii-ConUS flying might be stark because a lot of people who live in Hawaii, like myself, know that Southwest has the absolute farthest, most inconvenient gates in the entire airport. Especially when compared to Hawaiian's inter-island gates which are the shortest walk of any g...
Jump to postAs a person who was born and raised in Hawaii, who still lives here now, and who lives part-time in Montréal; I think I can shed a bit of insight here. 1. Tons of Canadian snowbirds own apartments in Honolulu making them immune to any hotel room shortage or hotel room rates. 2. Judging from the ease...
Jump to postI know a little about two of them. WAMOS Air have 2 x 747s heading from Madrid to HNL. One will head to FRA (possibly non-stop) as is showing a lighter load. The other will route through Vancouver to London Gatwick. Edit. Just reading that there'll be another flight going to Sydney. Unfortunately t...
Jump to postHawaiian Airlines will stop almost all long haul flights on March 26th and reduce interisland frequencies as well. The only long haul to be operated will be HNL-LAX (reduced to once daily) and once weekly HNL-PPT. https://newsroom.hawaiianairlines.com/releases/hawaiian-airlines-to-suspend-most-long-...
Jump to postI hate to be overly pedantic, but this is not the last flight to the US, it is the last flight to the mainland US. This ship will fly to HNL for the next couple of months, in addition to several select domestic Australian destinations. https://www.businesstraveller.com/business-travel/2019/12/05/qan...
Jump to postI am wondering the same thing. Or what about hypothetically, an airline opens their own airport. Can they register their airport? Correct. As an example, Hawaiian Airlines opened an airport in Kapalua, Maui, HI and requested the code "JHM", which stood for John H Magoon who was HA's CEO a...
Jump to postThat is the whole question. Can they legally cancel your reservation and void your ticket? You paid for it, didn't you?

How is AC able to do this within the bargaining agreements with their respective flight crew unions? Maybe because this is a temporary wet lease?

Jump to postAloha, I will be doing a lot of traveling this year between HNL-SFO and HNL-ORD on the domestic 777-200 and noticed that rows 39 and 40 at United.com are two abreast A-B and K-L. Also it looks like row 40 has more legroom, like economy-plus but it is not sold as such. Are these indeed two-abreast? I...

Jump to postWho pays for these such facilities in say YUL? The host airports pay for the facilities and the US CBP pay rent as far as I can tell.

As a Hawaii resident who travels to Boston at least once a year (and who is currently sitting at La Guardia awaiting my flight to Boston as I write this) this is excellent news!
Let's hope the market agrees and makes this route a daily flight.
How are boarding passes and seats assigned? Since the airline chartering the aircraft doesn't have a seat map, are these done manually or is there a stand alone app or some sort of software that the airline could use. Maybe HiFly has a proprietary website where those seats can be assigned with acces...

Jump to postN375HA is still in SEA. Both SEA flights (29 to OGG and 21 to HNL) were operated by the aircraft that flew up from OGG and HNL yesterday. Maybe one of those two was supposed to go in for the same refit but was turned around and used to cover for N375HA?

Jump to postAs a life long Hawaii resident, I have to think that 77H hit the nail on the head. With direct service to the islands of Kauai, Maui, and Hawaii; there is no need for a second major inter-island carrier.

Jump to postThese experienced pilots (and others) made a mistake that is inherent in human nature. They tried to make what they were seeing fit what they thought they should be seeing. With one bank of runway lights off (28L), then they thought 28R was 28L and that the taxiway was 28R. Perhaps an issue here is ...
Jump to postI've always been under the impression that the 777-300ER was coded as a 77W with the "W" standing for "worldwide" to denote its extended range status over the usual 777-300.
Jump to postIf the passenger has liability insurance or better yet, an umbrella policy, it's likely the insurance company will end up paying. So it won't really affect the passenger aside from increased insurance premiums.
I hope HA is able to recoup its costs, as well as other airlines in a similar situation.
Yes! This indeed appears be an extension to the US jetty, though there is no mention of this at the ADM website extension nor any mention online unless it is in french and alas, I'm no Francophone.
