Hawaiian Airlines will operate and maintain the A330-300P2Fs on behalf of Amazon Air. “Amazon’s endorsement of our freighters speaks volumes about the market value of the A330 and the position Airbus wide-bodies are gaining in the cargo market,” Airbus chief commercial officer and head of international, Christian Scherer, said. Hawaiian Airlines will establish a pilot base in continental U.S., expand existing maintenance bases and hire more pilots, mechanics, dispatchers and supply chain employees to support the new cargo operation. “This relationship provides a catalyst to grow our business and a unique opportunity to diversify our revenue sources while capitalizing on our established strengths,” Hawaiian Airlines CEO, Peter Ingram, said.
