Transair Hawaii to add first B737-400(F)

Hawaii's Trans Executive Airlines eyes int'l B737 charters

Trans Executive Airlines (R9, Honolulu) is planning to launch international charters with a B737-200 and has asked the US Department of Transportation (DOT) to make effective its Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity for Foreign Charter Air Transportation, initially issued in 2017.

The airline said in its application that while it "had planned to commence foreign charter air transportation services well before now", it could not do so due to various external factors, including the COVID-19 pandemic. However, it has recently secured the approval of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to launch services to Canada, Mexico, Central and Southern America, and the Caribbean.

Trans Executive Airlines also trades as Transair Hawaii, Transair Global, and Interisland Airways Hawaii.

Transair, Pacific Air to cooperate on inter Hawaiian ops

Transair Hawaii (R9, Honolulu) has signed an agreement with fellow Hawaiian freight specialist, Pacific Air Cargo, to provide scheduled air cargo services throughout the islands of Hawaii, with onward connections to the United States mainland.

“Today’s agreement extends the already existing co-operation between our two companies and will provide a greater reach for both of us,” Pacific Air Cargo Founder and Chief Executive, Beti Ward, said. “Pacific Air Cargo currently operates six scheduled B747 freighter services using Kalitta Air (K4, Detroit Willow Run) between Los Angeles Int'l and Honolulu every week, and today’s agreement will now allow us to add seamless daily connections to all the neighbour islands."

Transair is Hawaii’s longest running dedicated freight outfit. The airline operates a fleet of Shorts 360 and B737-200(F) aircraft to Lihue, Kahului, Kona, and Hilo with extended service to Lanai City and Kaunakakai. In...
