KGMB and KHNL are FCC callsigns for Hawaii Television stations.

good luck getting 78 seats in an ATR?

good luck FILLING 78 seats.. they are barely filling 60% of 37 seats right now...

I wish them all the luck and good fortune they can get. I flew for Island Air from 1990-1996. They have always been a underfunded and unappreciated airline. There were years we're they made the profit for the Aloha Air group.
In the fall of 1990 the president of Aloha Island Air showed the pilots his proposal to acquire ATR's for inter- island service. Of course this was shut down by big brother. I believe that not integrating the two airlines into a more seamless service was one of the cornerstones of Aloha's failure. But we can debate that all day long. My only concern is how they going to get that airplane into JHM? |

Looks like they thought of everything.
|
At 3000 feet it's about 400 feet shorter than the shortest runway we used the ATRs down in the Caribbean. TVSC an TKPN were both 3400 usable RWY length. 3000 feet is gonna be a tight fit.

Looks like things are moving right along.... anyone know if the ATR contract is a wet or dry lease? |
The first ATR 72 has already been delivered. WP pilots will be flying these.

Well I know some of our ATRs made the flight out there. It was amazing to see that they could do that.

Looks like it went to Kaneohe this weekend. Must've been showing it off at the airshow.

Probably the same way they got the 717s out there...rip out the seats and stuff a few aux tanks in the cabin.
