“These additional widebody A330s will give us more flexibility to pursue domestic and international expansion opportunities, replace our existing Boeing 767 fleet and improve our ability to compete profitably in the coming years,” said Hawaiian CEO Mark Dunkerley.
Hawaiian, which also has six A350 XWBs on order, flies between Honolulu and Sydney four times a week, currently with 767-300ERs.
