Hawaiian Airlines (HA, Honolulu) has agreed to acquire two ATR 42s for its new regional operation in Hawaii where it plans to operate up to six turboprops on routes to airports on the islands not currently served by Hawaiian where its B717-200s would be too large and/or unable to land. It is not yet clear if Hawaiian plans to acquire ATR 42-300s or ATR 42-500s.
