夏威夷航空在美西時間3/6正式下訂10架787-9外加10架選擇權,發動機選擇GEnx-1B
據傳這批787-9價格殺的非常低,波音更是給予non-binding的簽約條件,日後反悔可免責
這是夏威夷航空717-200後再次採購波音飛機
夏威夷航空CEO之前說過他們是空巴愛用粉,因此這筆訂單對波音來說意義非凡
根據Flightglobal報導,夏威夷航空已在2/27取消A330-800neo 6架訂單
A330-800neo訂單歸零,有趣的是2/22時夏威夷航空還否認砍單傳聞
最慘的莫過於空巴了,A330-800neo首號測試機F-WTTO 2/5才塗裝完成亮相
才過一個月夏威夷航空就投向就波音懷抱

Hawaiian Airlines has signed a letter of intent to purchase 10 Boeing 787-9s,
and it has cancelled its order for six Airbus A330-800s, the company says.
The news marks a major fleet shift by Hawaiian, but one that had been widely
anticipated by industry observers.
The deal with Boeing, which Hawaiian describes as "non-binding", also gives
the carrier the option to buy another 10 787-9s, it says.
Hawaiian cancelled its order for six A330-800s on 27 February, the company
confirms.
General Electric GEnx engines will power the 787-9s, and Hawaiian expects to
take delivery of the first aircraft in the first quarter of 2021.
"The Dreamliner’s excellent fuel efficiency makes the 787-9 an ideal choice
for Hawaiian’s long-haul Asia/Pacific and North America routes," says
Hawaiian. "The company selected the 787-9 as part of a competitive bid
process that also included the Airbus A330-900."
"The Dreamliner combines excellent comfort for our guests with fantastic
operational performance and will allow us to continue modernising our fleet
into the next decade,” says Hawaiian chief executive Peter Ingram. “It has
more seating capacity than Hawaiian’s current widebody fleet, which will
allow us to further build upon our successful growth in Asia.”
Hawaiian expects to finalise the purchase agreements with Boeing and GE in
the second quarter of this year.
