Hawaiian Airlines and its flight attendants have reached a tentative
agreement on new contract terms covering the operation of Airbus
A321neos. The carrier’s 1,400 flight attendants are represented by the
Association of Flight Attendants (AFA).
On Jan. 7, the airline agreed to acquire 16 new A321neos, plus nine options. The new acquisitions were contingent upon new agreements with its pilots and flight attendant unions.
Hawaiian’s 600 pilots, represented by the Air Line Pilots Association (ALPA), ratified a similar agreement Jan. 28. The A321neo fleet expansion is expected to generate roughly 1,000 additional jobs for the carrier.
The airline said the 190-seat A321neo aircraft will “complement Hawaiian’s existing fleet of widebody, twin-aisle Boeing 767 and Airbus A330 aircraft used for long-haul flying between Hawaii and the US West Coast.”
Terms of the agreement were not disclosed; however, the aircraft are valued at approximately $2.8 billion at list prices, if all options are exercised.
