Airline Maniac

Hawaiian Airlines has announced that it will add four Boeing 717 aircraft to it’s fleet. They will lease the aircraft from Boeing Capital Corporation. The aircraft additions will be used to grow capacity in Hawaiian’s inter-island flights. Most inter-island flights now fly full after the demise of Hawaiian’s rival, Aloha Airlines. The new flights added with the incoming aircraft will help relieve the strain on the airline’s current flights and open up more seats.

With the increase in frequencies, Hawaiian will be challenging it’s last major rival, GO. GO is a low-cost inter-island airline owned by Mesa Airlines. The long-term success of GO is questionable, however, due to the possible bankruptcy of Mesa.
