America West Airlines Considers Hawaii Flights

America West Airlines is about half-way through the 18 month FAA approval process. The FAA is evaluation 13 of America West's 757's to insure that they can make the over-ocean journey.

America West spokesman Phil Gee says: "We hope that once we get our aircraft certified, we can look to see if flying to Hawaii is a viable option." He also said that America West had already began training flight attendants and crew members for the flights.
