PrivatAir is a Swiss-based business and charter aviation firm that flies globally. A few weeks ago, one of their Boeing 757-200 airliners, HB-IEE, stopped at HNL for a few days and spent another few days at Kahului, Maui. This 757 seats only 49 passengers luxuriously, while the same airliner with a commercial airline can seat over 200 passengers (depending on seating layout).
Passengers can be seen de-planing to board a mini-bus to take them to their hotel. I took this shot while driving down HNL's south ramp to get photos of the 757.
On a side note, the Rolling Stones chartered HB-IEE during their 2003 world tour. During U2's "All You Can't Leave Behind" world tour, the Irish rock band chartered one of PrivatAir's 737s.
I'd LOVE to see the inside of that! It must be very swanky.
