FedEx Hawaii rumor

[Hugh Jorgan]

How's this for a good rumor?: FedEx may be considering bringing a few Boeings to the Islands for interisland freight in the not-so-near future. Hard for me to believe that could be profitable for them, but what the heck, it sounds like fun. Is there anyone else out there who has heard this one? Anyone in the Hawaii freight business (Corporate Air, AQ, etc.) Have any insight as to how busy the Island freight business is?

Hawaii Cargo Update

I asked a friend that used to operate the Kitty Hawk 727 Inter Island operation. My freind says they haven't heard anything about Fed Ex, but it seems a solid inter-island cargo operator is needed in Hawaii. Anybody starting up ops in Hawaii, cargo or otherwise is pretty much run out of town.

Although there seems to be room for competition if one of the parties starts selling cargo at 11 cents a pound nobody makes money until the upstart is gone. Now Fed Ex, well that might be different.
