Hawaiian Airlines To Replace Inter-Island Boeing 717s With The 737-800

Hawaiian Airlines announced plans to transition its interisland flights from Boeing 717 aircraft to the Boeing 737-800 series. This change is being facilitated through a lease agreement with Alaska Airlines, who currently operates a fleet of 737-800s. Hawaiian Airlines expects to begin taking delivery of the new aircraft in late 2024 and early 2025. The move aims to enhance operational efficiency and improve passenger comfort across its network within Hawaii. Ultimately, this upgrade will allow for increased capacity on key routes throughout the state.
