Jump to postHawaiian has a couple of things going for it, some of them mentioned in this post. However, there is one item not mentioned here and that is the Ohana operation. See, Hawaiian was smart because the Ohana operation, which is one which flies to the small secondary airports of Lanai and Molokai, are re...
Jump to postI see the Mauka Extension at the Interisland terminal is coming up, framing seems to be in place and construction is moving along. Has there been any change in the news that the whole facility is going to be used by Hawaiian? And is Hawaiian still going to be the only entity using the "A" ...
Jump to postShoot ive paid over $100.00 just to go one way OGG-KOA wish we had a ferry system. We tried in 2007. And then there were protest. And now we dont. TIH Right now the way Hawaii society is, a ferry system probably won't be happening even though there are definite benefits for having one. I think the ...
Jump to postAre there any prospects for HA and WN to start 24 hour service between the Islands? When the ABC Store (think 7-Eleven) in Kona closes at 11PM you know there isn't much demand for 24-hour flying. A little surprised the demand is not there at least on the weekends. Depending on the season, I have fl...
Jump to postNews came down today that Hawaiian Airlines is now using a A-320NEO on one flight a day between Honolulu and Kahului. From.Routes Online: Hawaiian Airlines earlier this month launched Airbus A321neo aircraft on Inter-Island market, operating on Kahului – Honolulu route. Since 07JAN20, the A321neo op...
Jump to postOr perhaps the facts outweigh the bluster? Again this is the WSJ in business since 1889. They have integrity and a reputation for quality reporting. WN has a reputation of FAA fines, cozy relationships that resulted in reassignment of inspectors, bending the rules and forgoing automation and advanc...
Jump to postOustide of the fact that the article was paper thin on details, what bothers me is that the WSJ, I suspect, is basically making a soundbite out of a lecture when it comes to this subject, and calling that the entire picture. Until I see the report publically put out or otherwise made available, with...
Jump to postThe Taiwan-USA air market has been marked with a number of different factors throughout the years that kept American airlines from making a real go of any routes.

Jump to postThe attraction of Hawaii in comparison to the Caribbean has to do with safety of the tourists. As many on the East Coast know, if you go to certain places in the islands there, you are literally living at the resort and not venturing outside to see anything. If your idea of a vacation is to stay at ...
Jump to postSo what is the nickname of this livery? "United Billboard"? No. It's Eiffel 65's "I'm Blue (Dabadee Dabadie)". Or just "blue on blue on blue." Or just "We gave Jeff a single blue crayon and told him to go to town." I'll take the third explanation. Best and si...
Jump to postIn reading other forums about this very subject, the combination of temperature, being at sea level and the fact that the plane is pax heavy, but cargo light, answers the question. I can how that can be, most cargo does transit Honolulu and is flown out of HNL.
Jump to postSo what is the nickname of this livery? "United Billboard"?
Jump to postMy quick read of this is that they are buying the plane for spare parts and the engines. It is pretty well known that Delta is doing the same thing with the MD-90s, So you can imagine how hard it is to get parts for a DC-8 now.
Jump to postOf course second-hand A330s can replace 767s. Factory new A330s have been the biggest existential threat to 767s since the mid-90s. Loads of airlines replaced 767s with A330s. Just to mention a few: SAS - Replaced with A330-300 and A340-300 Delta - Partially replacing them with A330-300, A330-900 a...
Jump to postI think the changes coming about for HNL, when finally all completed, will not necessarily transform the airport,but make operations a bit better for the volume they are seeing. Recently I was traveling inter-island. Upon my return I noted that the taxi time from the runway to the gate at Hawaiian w...
Jump to postCustomers of interisland travel here are finding out that Southwest is a real-deal operator. While the walk from the transpac ticket counter to the gates is kinda long, I think the customer here is seeing that a little bit of a walk gets them a boatload of savings going neighbor island. The other th...
Jump to postDelta, along with the other airlines that do one-stop in Asia connections to places like Hong Kong or Manila, are being put under severe pressure by Chinese carriers that perform the same service except they fly through Shanghai or Beijing. And to boot, the fact that Chinese carriers can do this one...
Jump to postIt seems that when a plane is early, or late, there is no gate. Only for those flights that come in on time - at least to my experience - that there is a gate. I am fully aware that gate space is at a premium and that planes need to get in and out on time for the next plane to come in.
Jump to postWell? Disney owns their own Cruise line.. So owning their OWN airline isn't really a stretch.. Who's the operator??? Well it is one thing to have a cruise ship industry that does not do the whole loyalty thing like the airlines have. But needless to say a Disney-only airline, to be successful, woul...
Jump to postSo, I wonder if there was a side conversation about taking up the -500 in which TWA could have "traded in" their oldest L-1011-1's that were not modified to -15 specs as part of a down payment on the planes. I get it, Lockheed didn't want product on the tarmac at Ontario any longer and so ...

Jump to postI've never seen it either. Hawaiian's pricing is based on time of year, day of the week, time of day. You want to fly on peak times on Monday and Friday? You want to fly at peak times on a holiday weekend? You're going to pay more. What I have seen is when someone can't get the lowest price they co...
Jump to postIf I recall correctly, Pleasant Hawaiian Holidays was partnered up with ATA until the end of ATA in 2008. These days they don't do the partner up of a Vegas package with an exclusive plane to take you there. But Vacations Hawaii really filled in that gap with Omni's 767-200's from CO/UA being market...
Jump to postAs a person who grew up around Aloha/Hawaiian/MidPac/Mahalo/go! and other entities that tried to start up interisland service in the state, I would say that the introduction of Southwest has been as much a relief for those who felt gouged on Hawaiian as much as curiosity as to how Southwest service ...
Jump to post*CA HNL-PEK SEP 0.4>0[0.4] OCT 0.4>0.1[0.4
Does this mean that CA is not operating PEK/HNL in September, and once a week in October?
In reading the article, it sounds like what is happening to Hawaiian is that they are being moved to the new MSC, which is a remote terminal that will be connected to the main terminal body by a transit or rail system (underneath I would assume) that would bring passengers to the baggage claim. If t...
Jump to postI think anyone criticizing these videos as being kitchy or cheesy, you might want to see how people are really behaving when things go bad on a plane. The Aeroflot disaster at Moscow is probably one of the most recent examples of where passengers didn't even care about the announcement of "leav...
Jump to postThis was something I noted back in the late '80's when I was on a NWA flight from Tokyo to Bangkok. We overflew Vietnam, with the capt. even noting the overfly as part of the routing. I knew very well at that point that we didn't have diplomatic relations with Vietnam and therefore, found it odd. Bu...
Jump to postAs mentioned on this thread before, HA did make a effort to make inroads on the HNL-MNL run for a number of years. However, price pressure on the route really kept margins tight on that flight. It was one of the highlighted reasons HA withdrew from MNL a few years ago. I am also of the impression th...

Jump to postI think the answer to this question really depends on how Southwest's service to the islands works out. The big experiment in their new service to the islands is to implement the intra-Texas service model into the Hawaii operations, do the long-distance in to it's first airport in Hawaii, and then h...

Jump to postThe 787-9, and the number of firm orders for the plane, tells me that Hawaiian intends to do a 1 to 1 replacement of A330's with 787-9's. Here is how I see it: By the time Hawaiian receives its first 787 on property, the oldest A330 is going to be pushing 10-11 years old. Not to say that is old for ...
Jump to postI am shocked that HAL doesn't fly to Guam. It seems like something like that would be right in their wheelhouse. HAL's wheelhouse is taking people to/from/within Hawaii focussing on visitors and the local population. GUM doesn't exactly fit into that niche. To answer your original question... it's ...

Hawaiian maybe should have bought a few extra spares so they could of spread out the cycles more between more aircraft. They are now going to need to start thinking about a replacement within the next five years or so. :old: I'd bet the replacement for Hawaiian's 717s will be some of Delta's 717s (...
Jump to postSo far no one has really spoken about the way Aloha was run, especially after 1986. That was the year the airline's owners - the Ching and Ing families - bought all the remaining shares in order to keep the airline out from being sold. It was one of the last big moves that Hung Wo Ching (the master ...
Jump to postYes. This will be a “real run” and will land in HNL. The following day it will fly HNL-DAL. Both flights will be observed by the FAA. I am assuming of course that the plane will land at one of the west coast gateways between DAL and HNL. Or is it a non-stop. Considering it will be an empty plan ....
Jump to postAloha: News coming across the wires here today are saying that Southwest will be doing a ETOPS certification run to Hawaii on Feb. 5.

Jump to postThe issue of keeping the A333 and, instead, getting rid of the 767s could have a lot to do with the level of service that each plane gives for its passengers.
