Two Hawaiian Airlines A330-200s To Assist CRAF

Fox Business reports that two Hawaiian Airlines A330-243s will be part of an 18-plane fleet to assist the Civil Reserve Aircraft Fleet (CRAF) in evacuating Americans and Afghani refugees during the current situation in Afghanistan.

Airliners from American Airlines (3), Atlas Air (3), Delta Air Lines (3), Hawaiian Airlines (2), Omni Air International (3), and United Airlines (4) will assist in moving people out from locations such as Qatar, the UAE, and Germany.

CRAF was begun in Germany, during the post-World War II occupation of Berlin, and requires airlines to have aircraft to be used in moving either civilians or military personnel in emergency situations.
