Hawaiian’s new Airbus needs a fix

One of Hawaiian Airlines’ two new Airbus A330-200 jets was under repair yesterday after it was turned around in midflight Friday because of a warning signal, a company spokesman said.

The aircraft departed from Honolulu Airport for Los Angeles about 1:15 p.m., but turned around when a low oil pressure indicator came on about an hour into the flight.

Back in Honolulu, repair crews found the pump had a faulty part and ordered a replacement part. Engineers were installing it yesterday, the spokesman said.

Hawaiian Airlines put the passengers on the second Airbus 330 aircraft, which left Friday at 6 p.m.
