"Flight that crashed in 1985 spotted landing in Narita Airport 35 years later" (SoraNews 24) Tweet by @m3600 with screenshots from FlightRadar 24 Apparently, someone was doing transponder maintenance on a 77W at NRT on the night of August 5, and happened to use "JL0123" as a tes...
Jump to postHaven't seen this mentioned, but according to HNL RareBirds, HA has brought LN 136 (N594HA) back into revenue service due to delays in receiving new A321s (fallout from the most recent PW1000G snag.)
Jump to postHA press release: https://newsroom.hawaiianairlines.com/releases/boeing-787-9-dreamliner-to-join-hawaiian-airlines-fleet Hawaiian Airlines has executed a non-binding Letter of Intent (LOI) for the purchase of 10 Boeing 787-9 aircraft with purchase rights for an additional 10 aircraft, the airline an...
Jump to postWere they as updated as the 763ERs or A332/A333s? How bad was the fuel economy on these? And lastly why did Hawaiian keep this aircraft for so long? I think the 763 retired before that was in 2015 so that means that this was the only original 763 in the fleet for 3 years. Was this done because of a...
Jump to postThe question is who will step in to fill the void. There's no significant void to speak of; WP had about 5-8% of the interisland market share before Friday, which is a small fraction of what Aloha had when they shut down. Whoever is running the res system seems to have quit their job. No HX/TK/XM m...
Jump to postWP is holding on to the planes for now, but it's clear at this point that the bankruptcy stay is not going to protect them. From today's Star-Advertiser : Attorney Thomas Kreller told federal Bankruptcy Judge Robert Faris on Friday that Island Air continues to operate the three leased Bombardier Q40...
Jump to postWon't have details from bankruptcy court until the Saturday Star-Ad lands tomorrow morning, but they did run an update today that mentions that WP's leadership hasn't officially acknowledged their fleet is down to 3 Q400s. Island Air executives declined this week to disclose the number of aircraft r...
Jump to postLooks like there's a real possibility that the end of WP will happen sooner rather than later. WP had an agreement with the lessor to defer lease payments that was amended as recently as Sept. 15. The lessor apparently sent their repo people after WP allegedly breached the amended agreement earlier ...
Jump to postLease terminations don't happen overnight, They happen as result of payment delinquency, or other dispute over terms. According to today's Star-Advertiser , that's exactly the case (and the lessor had people in HNL to repossess the Q400s): Island Air was $4.4 million behind on lease payments to Dub...
Jump to postThis is depressing. The Q400s entering service was a sign of hope, but if they've been losing money for 4 straight years, it doesn't sound good (albeit not surprising.)
WP is basically the only thing standing between HA and complete and total control of the interisland air market right now.

The official website for HNL still calls it "Honolulu International Airport," and there's nothing on the Hawaii DOT Airports Division website (or the Governor's website ) about renaming HNL. Say what you will about the state government, I think they'd have mentioned something somewhere abo...
Jump to postFrom the Honolulu Star-Advertiser today : The parent of the state’s largest carrier said today it also will be adding two additional Boeing 717s to its fleet so that it can increase service during peak times beginning early next year on its interisland routes.
