They have adamantly denied the possibility of moving 330’s to the mainland, which I actually tend to believe. They want Chester-less 787’s in SEA, and Pualani 330’s in HNL.
The issue I see is that they now own 15 of 24 A330’s, and how many of those 9 leases will actually stick around long term. That’s the elephant in the room, is that HNL could lose the leased 330’s if they are not bought or renewed.
BM said 41 wide bodies in 2035 so there’s a chance!
