So what were the logistics involved for solving this problem, aircraft wise? Was anything canceled in order to use the plane for the stuck NAN paxs?

Jump to postI still don't get why the old tiare flower design is on the 789 when they unveiled a refreshed flower design along with the new livery?
Jump to postSo if true, nothing at HNL will be done on the terminal level alongside the other airlines or will there be stairs going down to the tarmac for boarding?
Jump to postKMCOFlyer wrote:According to the article, it looks like that WN will have there own gate area at HNL, and will be using handstand boarding at the end of the Diamond Head Concourse (Gates G7-G10).

Let's not confuse "food" with "meals". I suspect this will be nothing more than a BOB product offering, and not meal service for each and every pax. Kelly recently hinted of new revenue streams, I could imagine this is it. Pre-packaged sandwiches and bistro snacks require zero p...
Jump to postWN is hosting an event in HNL on August 7 hopefully we will get an update or announcement on the flight schedule for Hawaii. That's promising news.

Jump to postYears ago, WN brought up the topic. They said that SD, ND, WY, MT all represented at or below 1% of all air traffic in the US, and that they were ok to give up that 1% to focus on bigger things. That was around 2005.
Jump to postI heard that there's an ETOPS rule stating that engines must have 90 minutes to cool down after an ETOPS flight. Is this true? If so, would that affect an interisland tag (OAK-HNL-KOA-OAK)?

When does HA N361HA get put into service? I saw it was flown to PAE on September 29.
Jump to postI see it boarding often and it definitely looks full. Lots of connections. No numbers to support it.

Looks like PAL will soon be starting MNL-YVR-ORD 4x a week and MNL-YVR-IAH 3x a week, all on 77Ws. JFK will be nonstop on the A359 in the beginning of summer 2018 and SEA to be added in 4Q 2018.

Jump to postObviously the goal is to put the hurt on Alaska in California due to the VX/AS merger, but are these flights just knee jerk reactions (especially SJD out of SMF)?
