Douglas DC-9-10-s

The Douglas DC-9-10 was the first and smallest model in the DC-9 series, specifically designed for short-haul flights. Introduced in 1965, it offered a dependable and efficient jet solution for smaller airports and routes with lower passenger demand.

Featuring a twin-engine setup with rear-mounted engines, a T-tail, and a narrow fuselage, the DC-9-10 was recognized for its cost-effective operation and ability to land on shorter runways. Despite its compact size, it delivered the speed and comfort expected from a jet, making it a popular choice among regional airlines.

This was the start of the passenger jet service from other islands such as Maui, Kauai, and Hawaii. Carrying up to 85 civilians.
