A new narrow body Airbus is about to enter service to Hawaii.
The good news:
* 30% reduction in fuel use
* can serve smaller airports so more direct flights (Hilo?)
The bad news:
* economy seats may be a can of sardines
* you are still burning 70% more fuel than if you didn’t fly
* if more routes are opened, will there be a net gain or loss of fuel burned?
The A321XLR’s efficiency translates to significant economic benefits for Airlines and environmental benefits through less fuel consumed. With the promised 30% reduction in fuel burn, airlines can operate more sustainably and economically. This efficiency is crucial for their maintaining Hawaii as an attractive yet profitable destination while simultaneously addressing some of the environmental impacts of increased Hawaii tourism.
