HISTORY ASPECTS:
Hawaiian Airlines introduced the Boeing 717 into its fleet in the late 1990s, with the specific aircraft registration N492HA being one of the prominent members of this series. The 717 was originally designed by McDonnell Douglas as the MD-95 before being acquired by Boeing, and it quickly became a favorite of regional airlines. For Hawaiian Airlines, the 717 was a perfect fit for its inter-island flights, providing efficiency, reliability, and comfort on shorter routes between the Hawaiian Islands. The aircraft was designed to operate in markets where larger, wide-body jets would be impractical, making it ideal for Hawaiian's hub-and-spoke system.
The 717, equipped with two Rolls-Royce BR715 engines, offered excellent fuel efficiency and low operating costs, which made it a valuable asset for Hawaiian Airlines as it expanded its domestic and international reach. N492HA, like its counterparts in the fleet, was known for its ability to easily navigate the Hawaiian Islands' short runways while maintaining a high level of performance. The aircraft could carry up to 128 passengers in a single-class configuration, offering travelers a comfortable and smooth ride between the islands, as well as on select mainland U.S. routes.
In addition to its efficiency, the 717 became an integral part of Hawaiian Airlines’ reputation for punctuality and high-quality service. Hawaiian Airlines was one of the last major U.S. carriers to operate the 717, ensuring that the aircraft played a significant role in the airline’s operations for over two decades. Despite the eventual phase-out of the 717 in favor of more modern jets, N492HA and its fleetmates helped shape Hawaiian Airlines’ commitment to excellent service and connectivity, both within Hawaii and beyond.
