Amazon partners with Hawaiian Airlines
Hawaiian Holdings, the parent company of Hawaiian Airlines, has inked an agreement with Amazon.com and its subsidiaries to operate and maintain an initial fleet of ten Airbus A330-300 freighters starting in autumn 2023.
Hawaiian will maintain and fly Amazon’s A330s under Hawaiian’s FAA air carrier certificate to move cargo between airports near the online retailer’s operations facilities. The initial ten aircraft will go into operation in 2023 and 2024. The agreement also leaves room for expanding the fleet depending on Amazon’s future business needs.
“We’re thrilled to work with Hawaiian Airlines,” said Sarah Rhoads, vice president, Amazon Global Air. “It will maintain and operate the next generation of aircraft in our fleet, which is a reflection of the excellence it delivers as a renowned airline with its own A330 aircraft.” (cj)
