  23. Hawaiian Airlines (HAL/HA) signs MOU for Airbus A321NEO!

    in General Discussion

    Now this just made my day! Since I love both Airbus and Hawaiian Airlines (HAL/HA) this is great news, however Hawaiian Airlines (HAL/HA) is beating BIG on what Airbus is saying about the Airbus A321NEO's range considering the Airbus A320 can't even make it right now...

    "The long-range, single-aisle aircraft will complement Hawaiian's existing fleet of wide-body, twin-aisle aircraft used for long-haul flying between Hawai'i and the U.S. West Coast.
    "Everyone at Hawaiian wants us to keep our position as the market leader in service quality, cost efficiency and choice of destinations. Ordering the A321neo will secure this legacy on routes to the U.S. West Coast beyond the middle of this decade," said Mark Dunkerley, president and CEO of Hawaiian Airlines. "The A321neo will be the most fuel-efficient aircraft of its type after its introduction in 2016. With its slightly smaller size we'll be able to open new markets that are not viable for wide-body service, while also being able to augment service on existing routes to the West Coast of North America."
    At 146-feet-long, the A321neo will seat approximately 190 passengers in a two-class configuration (First and Coach) and has a range of 3,650 nautical miles. The aircraft will offer the more comfortable seat widths found in the twin-aisle Airbus A330. Terms of the agreement were not disclosed, however, the aircraft have a total list-price value of approximately $2.8 billion if all of the purchase rights are exercised."

    "Hawaiian Airlines intends to buy at least 16 Airbus A321neos to be delivered between 2017 and 2020.
    The memorandum of understanding, valued at $2.8 billion at list prices, commits the carrier to buy as many as 25 A321neos, including potential orders for 16 and purchase rights for a further nine aircraft.
    Hawaiian plans to configure the twinjet in a two-class layout with 190 seats."
