Interesting moves at Hawaii make the use of the interisland fleet and possibly putting on hiatus its coveted new flagship fleet.

Thank you for the information.
We also love the A380. Upper deck towards the back was awesome. Plenty of room and more isolated.
Is Hawaiian still going to be getting the 787 Dreamliners? If they do, I hope they don’t do the 3-3-3 main cabin seating arrangement. We like the 2-3-2 seating (two seats on the window sides) and therefore prefer the A330’s.
Thank you.
Hi David.
We have a great travel story to share re A380. Just haven’t put that one together yet. We got to take two rides in November, right before the world changed. On British and Singapore. We will assume that Hawaiian will still get the Dreamliners, although of course anything is possible. Concur on seating.
Aloha.
I’ll be sad to see the MD-95 (717) slowly vanish. The Mad Dogs were truly wonderful planes to fly on.
I can’t blame Hawaiian for deferring or cancelling the B787s for the foreseeable future. Boeing and the engine makers are reportedly working on a PIP anyway, given that the B787 has already been in service for 10 years! Hard to believe its already been that long. Deferring the order might save Hawaiian some cash in the short term, and result in savings over the longer term if they do keep the plane and its PIPped.
The real loser here is Airbus, who had two chances to get Hawaiian’s business but just couldn’t make it happen.
I’m thinking Hawaiian wii be particularly well positioned as Hawaii opens up. Hawaii has had one of the lowest rates of infection and flying
on them means in all likelihood the crews are from Hawaii. Any other airline the crews are from states that probably have a much higher
rate of infection.
Has to give new meaning to the their sales pitch “ you are in Hawaii as soon as you board your flight flight”!
Thanks.
Hi John.
We are most grateful for all of your comments.
Aloha, R/J.
