Honolulu-based Hawaiian (AMEX: HA) announced Tuesday that the acquisitions
will bring its long-haul fleet of Boeing 767-300s from 14 to 18.
The company said it expects to introduce these aircraft into service after
necessary modification work has been completed, and referred to "additional
service" the airline will launch when it gets the jets.
"This expansion is great news for our company, our employees -- especially those
we will be able to recall from furlough -- and for Hawaii tourism," CEO Mark Dunkerley
said.
The planes have been flown by Delta Air Lines, which has rejected its leases on them
in its current Chapter 11 bankruptcy.
Each will be overhauled and outfitted in Hawaiian's standard interior configuration:
18 seats in first class, 242 seats in coach.
