Boeing 717 NXC becomes N490HA.

Did anyone see it depart and note its new name ?

I have photos of the three Hawaiian 717s when they came through ADL.

The 3rd aircraft to join the HA fleet has been named 'Öu and the 4th and final aircraft will be named Puaiohi

Can't expand at this time on what the final HA registration will be I'm afraid.

Will the 4th aircraft be another ex Qantaslink aircraft or will it be sourced elsewhere?.

N491HA has been reserved by Hawaiian but ntu.

It may be a good bet.

The 4th aircraft arrived in HNL a couple of days ago and will enter service soon as N488HA.

As Robert predicted, NXF become N488HA and named "Puaiohi"

Nice shot on p24 in the latest Aero mag.

Anyone confirm the name of NXC/N490HA ?

It would appear that N483HA returned to Hawaiian after a stint with another airline.

From what I can ascertain, B717-22A, N483HA c/n 55128 l/n 5079, was delivered to Hawaiian Airlines on 27 January 2001. After a period in storage in 2003, it went to AirTran as N604AT on 8 January 2004 and subsequently returned to Hawaiian Airlines as N483HA on 6 October 2008.
