Flying in Hawaii has been anything but pretty in recent years.  The loss of Aloha Airlines.  The mess left by go!  Not to mention their sleepy pilots.  And a tourism downturn followed by a big loss in airlift.

But something beautiful is about to arrive…

This is our first look at a brand-spanking-new Airbus A330-200 set for delivery to Hawaiian Airlines next month.  Our friends at French Frogs Aviation Pictures captured this photo during its first flight from Toulouse, France.

Hawaiian plans to operate the A330 initially between HNL and LAX, then to LAS, and eventually to Haneda if the airline secures that strategic route later this year.

A gorgeous addition to a market ready for some good news.
