No surprise where this airliner is headed as it accelerates down runaway 1R at SFO for a flight to to the islands. Of their current fleet of 61 aircraft, 24 are of this model. This aircraft wears an updated livery unveiled in 2017, which includes the addition of the lei on the fuselage. Upon delivery, each Hawaiian Airlines A330 is named for a celestial body of particular importance to ancient Polynesian navigators, (in this example Keali’iokonaikalewa, also known as Canopus) used to navigate to the Hawaiian islands.
