Tonywestsider concurs with Wally Bird. Aloha (AQ) flew this route nonstop using Boeing 737-700s. WA did fly this route in 1981, with either 707s or 720s. I'm trying to find documentation that CO also flew this route back in the day. I can't come up with the documentation but I would say it's a good guess.

Contrast that to today's service by a US airline on the YVR-HNL route, which happens to be DL codeshare, but operated with WestJet metal (Boeing 737-800).
