Hawaiian Airlines had their first Airbus A330-243, N380HA "Makali‘i", blessed today in before employees, local dignitaries, and the media. Kahu (Pastor) Richard Kamanu of Kaumakapili Church blessed the aircraft with Hawai‘i Governor Linda Lingle, Hawaiian Air CEO Mark Dunkerley, and Airbus America President Allan McArtor at the top of the airstairs, with Hawaiian Air flight attendants gathered below.
The cool things about these blessing ceremonies: is that its done in both Hawaiian and English, and incorporates the Hawaiian culture and Christianity.
