https://flightaware.com/live/flight/HAL722 A Hawaiian A332 (N380HA) flew from OAK to EWR using the flight number HA722 just yesterday, and it doesn’t seem to have moved since.

Jump to postAloha Airlines was a make-work program. They shut down employing nearly 160 employees for each of their 22 737s. It was not a make-work program.

Jump to postI scratch my head at all these people who seem to know the 737 can't do inter-island. I fly the damn thing and there's nothing in our manuals other than an engine start temp. limitation.

Jump to postAnywhere Amazon isn't flying themselves, they are utilizing FX and 5X. FedEx alone has multiple widebodies connecting HNL to the mainland every day - MD11s and 777s.

Jump to postAre we sure it was the pilot, not line maintenance, that found the damaged fan blade? The inbound flight is scheduled to arrive at 7:25am and the aircraft is only on the ground for 2 hours before flying back to HNL. Line maintenance does has to perform ETOPS checks and other inspections as well.
Jump to postOf course re HNL at one point CO flew 2x from IAH (not sure if 2x also from EWR) as well as IAH-OGG for a good while.

Jump to postCO started EWR-HNL around 1987-88. Don't think it ever did SFO-HNL. You could see an eastward contrail over Oakland in the afternoon-- had to be CO's nonstop to EWR.

Jump to postMost likely answer is that Condor, being a leisure airline, weren't concerned about cargo and saved money by ordering it without the large cargo door.
LTU, formally a leisure airline, also ordered several 767-300ERs with the small forward cargo door.
UA already announced SFO-PPT. Yes but this is about LAX, AA, and a route never flown by a US carrier before. Whether LAX-PPT has had a nonstop on a US carrier before is the question. Yes, that is the question. I don't know the answer. I simply tossed my guess into the ring with PPT. If a US carrier...
Jump to postThe 787-9 is close in size to the A350-800, the airplane HA wanted to order originally. Exactly. For the original HA RFP, Airbus offered the A350-800 + A330-200(interim) while Boeing offered the 787-9 + 767-300ER(interim). To say the 787-9 is too big is forgetting that that is exactly the size airc...

OGG is named after Bertram J Hogg. I think he worked for one of the defunt airlines based Hawaii. As to why the Maui airport (instead of say... HNL or KOA) is named after him, I have no idea. Hogg started as a mechanic's helper at Inter-Island Airways (now Hawaiian Airlines) in 1930. He actually st...

They operated the 400 for several months but the type was plaqued with implementation issues. They had a whole cadre of pilots trained, mechanics ground crews trained, etc. So they just gave up? The Q400 seems like an ideal inter island aircraft. It is just as fast as a jet on these stage lengths. ...
