Hawaiian Air Adds To Airbus Fleet

December 5, 2016

Hawaiian Airlines is continuing its fleet renewal with the addition of an Airbus A330-200 and two A321neos.

The new aircraft will allow Hawaiian to increase capacity and retire its fleet of ageing Boeing 767s by the end of 2018, the airline said in a statement.

“The addition of these three aircraft provide for low- to mid-single-digit capacity growth over the remainder of the decade,” chief commercial officer Peter Ingram said.

“At the same time, the accelerated retirement of the Boeing 767s from our fleet will simplify our operation and allow us to be more efficient," he added.

The A330 purchase will bring Hawaiian's fleet of the type to 24 by the fourth quarter of 2017. The two leased A321neos will bring its A321neo total to 18 by 2020.
