Maybe Cathay Pacific...
During the early days of the Jet Era, with their 707's...
they probably used this as a techinical stop on the way to the west coast of the United States.

not sure though...

AA61hvy -

Just as an fyi, there are many Chinese people that reside in Hawai'i. Being from Honolulu, I can say this for a fact. Smile/happy/getting dizzy

SQ used to fly HKG - HNL direct service and continued to SFO in the 1980's, but now HNL is only history.

UA used to fly HKG - NRT - HNL with a same plane service but they re-scheldued as HKG - NRT - LAX nowadays, which means HNL has been dropped.

SQ used to operate flight SQ15/16 I think on a SIN/HKG/HNL/SFO
routing. The return flight went SFO/HNL/HKG/SIN This was flown
with the B747-300s. This flight along with one from LAX that flew
LAX/HNL/TPE/SIN would land within 30minutes of each other in HNL
around2-3am. When they got the B744s, they eliminated the stops
in HNL.

SQ actually flew SIN-HKG-HNL-SFO and SIN-TPE-HNL-LAX with the Boeing 747-200 and DC-10 aircraft. This routing then progressed on to the Boeing 747-300, but due to winds en route to Singapore, the B743s had to make a technical stop at HNL, while having the range to fly HKG-SFO direct.

When the Boeing 747-400 aircraft came along, HNL was eliminated. I really would like to see SIA putting a 772ER from SIN-HKG/TPE-HNL sometime soon.

United still flies HNL-NRT and back with a 747-400.

GARUDAROD I was just in time! but yours was more detailed.

Yes UA1837 UA still flies HNL - NRT just that UA can't claim that it's a scheldued flight from Hong Kong comparing to before. But I guess that does not make much difference as I doubt much Hong Kong people would go to HNL for vacations anyways so that's why no HKG - HNL route lasted long.

Cathay have never operated to HNL. Their first ever service to N. America was HKG-YVR (started in 1983 I think), flown non-stop both ways with several higher gross weight 742's in their fleet.

it sounds like hnl was mainly used for a re-fueling stop as opposed to a scheduled destination
