HA will sell them to OY !
just kidding, HA will add a non stop HNL/LAS flight in addition to the 1 stop HNL/LAS flight. The flights will be operated by B767 aircraft.
We cannot wait to get the 767 here in LAS !!!

I was so stoked to see the DC-10's when I was in LAS
About a month ago I went and shot this Hawaiian 763ER, it was the 10am departure. I went there last Sunday, over a month later, and the same plane was still flying the flight

As HAL discussed this in a previous message, Boyd needs the seats.
"Our CEO said it was a mutual decision to end the charters, because they were a money losing deal for us, and the charter companies wanted to pack people into the plane - something we won't be doing with the 767. We will be starting daily scheduled service HNL- LAS as soon as the charters end. Hopefully we can get a lot of those people with HA FF miles to stick with us."
