Hawaiian Airlines has acquired another new wide-body Airbus A330-200 aircraft, which joins two other A330s announced two weeks ago. The company has also negotiated delivery of two of the new aircraft in the second quarter of 2010 — beginning Hawaiian’s transition to a new long-range fleet two years earlier than originally planned.
The three new A330s are in addition to the agreement that Hawaiian announced this past February to purchase up to 24 new Airbus aircraft. The most recent A330 acquisition is being leased from CIT; the other two are being leased from AWAS. The CIT aircraft and one of the AWAS aircraft will join the fleet in 2010, with the other AWAS aircraft joining the fleet in 2011.
