Aloha Airlines used to do Pago Pago and Rarotonga in the 737-700 NG. I imagine definitely the Max8 and possibly the Max9 could handle it. I wish there were a crucial niche would mandate retaining the NB Airbuses but I doubt it.

I saw a HA 737 at Christmas Island. I think it was a once a week flight. Nothing really groundbreaking in the money making department.

Mandating retaining Airbuses? That’s funny

One thing going for the Bus with OEM, all Airbus to Airbus courses will fall under a “short course format”. This means 10 day foot print no matter what direction you go (321FO to 330CA, etc…). It basically takes it down to a single fleet type among the different Airbus aircraft types.

Normally I would have said it's going to be two-fleet airline, and Proudly All Boeing, in the mid-term. But in light of the myriad current issue with BCA, it seems like the head-shed might actually keep an open mind this time. As opposed to fleet-decision lip service.
