![]() ![]() That while the airlines instead have pointed fingers at the country’s air traffic control system. The range of suspect causes includes “airline mismanagement,” as stated by the pilots’ association. We aren’t used to this magnitude of late arrivals and departures here in Hawaii. There’s still no specific cause we can point to. ![]() Hawaiian Airlines had the most significant number of delays of any airline again, with Southwest coming in second. While Maui has its share of the problems, Honolulu took the brunt of the latest delays, with 98 issues listed. ![]() On Tuesday, FlightView indicated that 50% of flights arriving Maui were either late or very late. These were a mix of short and long delays on both mainland and interisland flights. On Tuesday and Wednesday, 210 Hawaii flight delays took place at five Hawaii airports. But unfortunately, these seem to be an eternal problem, as reported by the flight-tracking service FlightAware and by OAG’s FlightView. Bottom line – less fluid and less time equal lower cost.It’s been three weeks since Hawaii flight delays last caught our attention. We do not show up to your aircraft with one truck, as the importance of schedule and holdover times are paramount. This efficiency is achieved through proper staffing and staging of equipment. Our de-ice team, with a higher level of training and experience, used an average of 10% less fluid than other de-ice providers during the 2015 – 2016 season, and routinely spray wide-body aircraft in less than 20 minutes. Our de-ice personnel are acutely aware of aircraft systems and “Do Not Spray” areas versus our competition, therefore eliminating costly fluid ingestion incidents and APU flameouts. Our competition simply cannot provide a higher margin of safety and quality. All de-ice procedures and fluid accounting will be closely monitored plane-side by our De-Ice Coordinator, ensuring the same professionalism and dependability provided with our technical handling is instilled into our deice operation.įlightcheck utilizes the proven technology of Cryotech’s Polar type 1 and 4 fluids for their outstanding holdover times and fully biodegradable properties. Additionally, we can provide specialty tooling and manpower such as NDT, and we can assist customers in sourcing spares from other airlines, IATP Partners or outside vendors.Īircraft de-icing is performed by our qualified de-ice personnel and aircraft engineers with twelve Trump 2000-2 de-ice units 24 hours a day.
