Signature and Castle & Cook are right next door to each other and the cargo ramp.
Everybody on a big 121 field normally gets their jet A from the co-op. That normally includes the high end FBOs. You'd have to go to a lot of trouble to arrange outside jet A, and it would probably cost more due to not having storage facilities on site, plus the access fees.
That's how big airports generally work, no law says HNL has to do it they way but why would they not?
If they didn't launch from a major 121 field, sure it might be plausible... but there's a reason that kind of thing doesn't happen to pax airlines.
