Since then, ST Aero has been one ofHawaiian’s principal vendors for its JT8D engine maintenance work.Hawaiian is very pleased with the performance and operation of theJT8D-17/17A engines overhauled by ST Aero. These engines areoperated up to 14 flights a day on our inter-island routes. Despitethe high cycle consumption and operational fatigue exerted byinter-island routes on the engines, they performed with nosignificant problems. We are now in the process of phasing out theJT8D engines as we convert our entire inter-island fleet to newBoeing 717-200 aircraft. As we do so, marketing the JT8D engineswill be made easier by the positive industry recognition of STAero’s quality work. Hawaiian Airlines would like to commend STAero on its consistent high quality over the years. We are confidentthat the two companies will build upon the excellent relationshipand expand it further in the coming years.ROBERT W.
