  • America West to Hawaii

    Early next year, Tempe-based America West, with or without a merger with US Airways, plans to launch daily non-stop service to Honolulu from Phoenix and Las Vegas, quickly followed by daily non-stop service from Phoenix to Maui. Later in the year it plans to add service to the Big Island and Kauai from Phoenix. Passengers from Phoenix have to make connections to get to the latter two islands now.

    Using what a/c? Do they have ETOPS cert on the 752s?

      If I'm not mistaken, this will not be Am West's first foray into this market. Didn't they fly 747-200s from PHX to HNL and NRT back in the mid 80s?

        Yes, it was in the early 1990s, and that foray lead to them filing for CH. 11 as well. They also flew the 742 from PHX to JFK.

          Presumably using the 752s. I believe they're in the process of obtaining ETOPS on them.
