CPs Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 We have had several customers ask us about our regular trip to Christmas Island of late and wished to clear up why we have not offered this trip after so many years. We have not offered this as a scheduled shop trip for 2008 or 2009 after offering it since 1986. To clarify, there is as of September 2008, no jet service from Honolulu to Christmas Island. It is being serviced by a Gulfstream G1, this being a 17 passenger turboprop configuration. After making this trip in the G1 about 5 years ago (the last time jet service was lost) we have determined the the 5 1/2 to 6 hour flight one way in cold, noisy conditions is not to our level of standards for our trips. Until jet service is restored with evidence of staying in place for an extended period we will not be offering this trip as a scheduled shop trip.
