I don’t know what’s so wrong with the comfortable, workhorse A330s… I never fly on anything but and I’m not sure why airlines aren’t flying more of them to Hawaii. Aside from that, aren’t hard landings what pilots are trained to do? Meaning, their primary goal is to just get the plane safely on the ground. The smooth, buttery landings are just preferred for passenger experience.
There are several Hawaiian 321’s sitting at the airline’s technical operations at HNL right now. At least one has its engines completely removed and it’s obviously mothballed for an extended period. Going to be several years before they are all back in the air.
