The carrier intends to purchase 10 787-9 aircraft valued at USD2.82 billion at list prices, alongside purchase rights for 10 additional 787 aircraft. The first aircraft is scheduled to arrive in 1Q2021, and will be powered by GEnx engines. The carrier selected the 787-9 as part of a competitive bid process that also included the A330-900. Hawaiian will use a number of new aircraft transition support services from Boeing Global Services, including training and initial provisioning.
