About the Aircraft Family

The BAe 146 series, later upgraded to the Avro RJ range, is known for its four-engine short-haul capabilities and exceptional field performance. Its compact design makes it popular for cities with limited runway length. Although Hawaiian Airlines did not historically deploy this regional jet, the author’s fictional livery captures the carrier’s distinct style.

Installation Process

To use these repaints, you must already own the payware QualityWings Ultimate 146 Collection, available from vendors such as SimShack (not included with this download). After obtaining the base model, open the QW146 Dispatcher included with the Collection, then follow the installation steps to integrate the new Hawaiian Airlines textures into your simulator.
