Hilo could be served by 757 and 737 aircraft like ATA flew.I don't think it could ever support wide body service.
The runway at Kahului is shorter than Hilo's and wide bodies land there.
I don't think you will be seeing another direct flight from the mainland to Hilo because of the cost factor.
Most of the major airlines lose money flying to Hawaii and only fly here to have somewhere their best customers can use their frequent flier miles.
