My guess is OGG's runway isn't long enough to handle the takeoff weight of a NY-bound 767. Landing's no problem. There's been talk of extending it for some years now. Don't know if the East Coast market alone could justify a OGG non-stop. But you never know.</font>
AA flies ORD-OGG non-stop in a 763, is EWR that much further? 764 may be an issue, but 762 might be ok.
