Hawaiian Airlines to cancel only direct flight to Boston
'Despite our team's best efforts, soft post-pandemic travel demand from Asia combined with various market challenges have persisted in Seoul, as well as in Fukuoka and Boston,' Hawaiian Airlines CEO Joe Sprague said. The airline began service to Boston in 2019 and currently operates four direct, non-stop flights between Logan International Airport and Honolulu's Daniel K. Inouye International Airport each week. Advertisement Logan International Airport did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Hawaiian Airlines was the only airline that offered direct flights between Logan International Airport in Boston and Daniel K. Inouye International Airport in Honolulu, according to the 'We remain committed to continuing to provide robust Hawaiian Airlines service between Asia and Hawai'i through our nonstop Japan flights, and via one-stop connections to and from Incheon and beyond with our global partner airlines,' Sprague said. The suspension is set to go into effect Nov. 19, when all direct flights between Boston and Honolulu will cease operation. After the suspension, Boston-based travelers will have to arrange for connecting flights on their route to Honolulu and the state of Hawai'i. Advertisement 'Between Honolulu and Boston, guests can connect daily on Alaska Airlines' flights via Seattle, Portland, San Francisco and San Diego,' Hawaiian Airlines said in the statement. Travelers who booked Hawaiian Airlines flights between Honolulu and Boston after the Nov. 19 suspension will be reaccommodated with another flight to their location or receive a refund, the airline said in the statement announcing the suspension. The planes that were used to fly between Honolulu and Logan International will redirect their courses to support high-demand flight paths, the airline said. In the statement, Hawaiian Airlines said that the aircraft will be redeployed to offer an increased number of flights between Honolulu and Sydney, Australia, Papeete, Tahiti, Los Angeles, and Seattle. 'These adjustments will ensure we are meeting strong demand for travel to Hawaiʻi – both internationally and domestically – while providing all our guests access to more destinations,' Sprague said. Hawaiian Airlines and Alaska Airlines The deal was intended to offer more flights between the 138 destinations the airlines accommodate and maintain Honolulu as a travel hub, the Katie Cressman can be reached at

American Airlines Battles Pilots Over Alaska's New Boeing 787s
American Airlines wants to fly more on the West Coast and in the Pacific, partially through a codeshare with Alaska Airlines, but the carrier appears not to want the flying to be done by its own pilots. In a letter to members on Monday, Nick Silva, president of the Allied Pilots Association, which represents 16,000 American pilots, said the airline will code share with Alaska Airlines on new European routes, and potentially on trans-Pacific routes, but won't allow its pilots to fly the routes. That violates the scope clause of the pilots' contract. Silva said management 'revealed plans to ignore our contract' in a discussion with him. Codeshares enable airlines to sell tickets on a second airline's flights, and to include those tickets on its booking platform. Scope clauses in pilot contracts define the flying to be done by union members. The scope clause of the contract between American and APA allows for domestic codeshares between American and Alaska, but not for international codeshares. Alaska merged with Hawaiian Airlines in a $1.9 billion deal in September 2024. Among Hawaiian's assets are five Boeing 787 jets, which became the first widebodies in Alaska's fleet. Alaska also has orders for about a dozen 787s. Last week, Alaska said it will begin 787 flights to London and Reykjavik in spring 2026. 'Alaska Airlines recently announced even more new European routes, which prompted my request to meet with senior management,' Silva wrote. 'In those discussions, management revealed plans to ignore our contract by codesharing on Alaska Airlines' new long-haul international routes.' American did not respond to a request to comment on Thursday. American has long been stymied in efforts to fly transpacific routes, a disadvantage in its competition with peers Delta and United. American's major Pacific assets is a transpacific alliance with partner Japan Air Lines. The alliance has antitrust immunity, enabling the carriers to coordinate on fares and schedules. In March, a JAL executive said the carrier is considering whether to allow Alaska to join the alliance, according to the Japanese digital aviation portal Traicy. Silva said APA's scope committee has been closely following the developments involving the Alaska/Hawaiian merger, the use of 787s for international routes and the effort to join the alliance. 'The Alaska Airlines codeshare permissions granted by Section 1.G of our contract never contemplated codesharing with a domestic airline to destinations across East Asia and Europe,' Silva wrote. 'Moreover, the widebody aircraft Alaska Airlines plans to operate on these routes all belong to Hawaiian Airlines and are thus subject to the limits on codesharing with Hawaiian Airlines or its successor. 'Why is this so harmful to the pilots of American Airlines?' Silva wrote. 'The introduction of American Airlines' code onto Alaska Airlines' international network will provide another way for American Airlines to farm out widebody flying to other airlines — flying that pilots on our seniority list could and should be performing.' APA spokesman Dennis Tajer noted that the pilots' scope clause is the first section in the contract. 'Scope is a religious issue to pilots,' Tajer said. 'It's about our current and future jobs that our families count on. There are few, if any, issues around which our pilot group will unite more than an attack on our scope protection.' He said the APA contract restricts Alaska code shares to domestic flying and restricts Hawaiian codeshares to flights between Hawaiian islands. Silva said he has filed two grievances. In late October, an arbitrator will hear the grievance regarding the Alaska code share. No hearing has yet been scheduled on the second grievance, filed because 'the widebody aircraft Alaska Airlines plans to operate on these routes all belong to Hawaiian Airlines and are thus subject to the limits on codesharing with Hawaiian Airlines or its successor.

It is contemplated in the MOU that both the TX JV HALEU Project and the ASPI TX Project will be constructed at, and will operate from, the HyperGrid Project in Amarillo, Texas. WASHINGTON and DALLAS, Aug. 15, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — ASP Isotopes Inc. NASDAQ: ASPI ('ASPI' or the 'Company'), an advanced materials company dedicated to the development of technology and processes for the production of isotopes for use in multiple industries, today announced that the Company and its subsidiary, Quantum Leap Energy LLC ('QLE' or 'Quantum Leap Energy'), an advanced materials company focused on the development of technology and processes for the production of advanced nuclear fuels, have entered into a Joint Venture Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Fermi LLC ('Fermi America'), regarding a joint venture pursuant to which the parties intend to collaborate on the research, development and ultimately the commercial production of advanced nuclear fuels on the planned HyperGrid Campus in Carson County, Texas. The non-binding MOU contemplates QLE and Fermi America entering into definitive agreements pursuant to which the parties will form a new entity in Texas as a joint venture for the research and development, and then the construction, of an advanced nuclear fuel enrichment facility capable of producing large quantities of High Assay Low Enriched Uranium (HALEU) for small modular reactors. It is anticipated that the advanced nuclear fuel facility will provide for the conversion and deconversion of uranium products, as well as the fabrication of fuel assemblies. In addition, the MOU contemplates ASPI entering into a separate lease for the development and construction of a 100% ASPI-owned enrichment research and commercial production facility for stable isotopes and advanced materials (excluding advanced nuclear fuels), which may include critical materials, such as Silicon-28, Germanium-70, Ytterbium-176, Nickel-64, Xenon-129, Zinc-68 and Chlorine-37. The property leased by Fermi America from the from the Texas Tech University System for the HyperGrid Campus is strategically located near the DOE-operated Pantex Plant near Amarillo, Texas, offering unique proximity to a federally hardened and environmentally characterized site. The site is pre-qualified for nuclear deployment under DOE and NRC precedent studies and is governed by sovereign institutional control held by Texas Tech University, as lessor. The HyperGrid Campus is expected to be the world's largest hybrid energy and data infrastructure campus and is anticipated to generate over 11 GW of electricity to supply data centers, as well as other industries. Pantex is the primary United States nuclear weapons assembly and disassembly facility that aims to maintain the safety, security and reliability of the U.S. nuclear weapons stockpile and is home to the site where most U.S. nuclear weapons are constructed and assembled. Fermi America, co-founded by former U.S. Energy Secretary and former Texas Governor Rick Perry, along with Former Quantum Private Equity Co-Founder, Toby Neugebauer, aims to meet the rapidly growing energy demands tied to AI infrastructure. Fermi America has submitted its Combined Operating License Application to build four Westinghouse AP1000 reactors as part of its HyperGrid Project. Fermi America plans to begin construction on the nuclear power complex in 2027 and aims to have the first reactor operational by 2032. Fermi America has also entered into an MOU with Hyundai E&C for the construction and engineering of Nuclear Reactors on the HyperGrid site. The Joint Venture MOU by and among ASPI, QLE and Fermi America was signed at a signing ceremony that took place in Dallas, Texas on August 14, 2025 and was attended by representatives of all parties, including Mr. Paul Mann, Chairman and CEO of ASPI, Dr. Ryno Pretorius, CEO of Quantum Leap Energy, and Mr. Toby Neugebauer, CEO of Fermi America. Toby Neugebauer, Co-Founder of Fermi America, said, ' Over the last three decades, our country has been asleep at the wheel, forcing reliance on foreign nations for critical technology materials such as next-generation semiconductors and nuclear energy. Fermi is determined to restore America as global leaders in the nuclear space, and our partnership with ASP Isotopes and Quantum Leap Energy is the natural next step.' Paul Mann, Chairman and CEO of ASP Isotopes and Chairman of Quantum Leap Energy, said ' During the last three years, ASP Isotopes has constructed three isotope enrichment facilities in South Africa to produce isotopes to enable faster semiconductors and next-generation cancer therapies. As a U.S. company, our goal has always been to bring these technologies to the United States to ensure that the United States has a domestic supply of these materials and reduce its reliance on imports from other countries. We are excited to enter into this joint venture with Fermi America to accelerate this goal. ' Ryno Pretorius, CEO of Quantum Leap Energy, commented that ' QLE is excited to enter the United States domestic production market as a provider of Nuclear Fuel Services to meet the rapidly growing demands of the Fermi America HyperGrid project, as well as existing and future partners in the United States. Our goal is to scale our technologies as quickly as possible to reduce the bottleneck on the nuclear fuel industry and unlock clean American nuclear energy that will provide consistent, base load power, not only for AI but millions of Americans. We believe Fermi America is another key strategic partner to help us develop and scale our nuclear fuel services and solutions in the United States with an initial base in Texas. ' During the next 30 years, global energy consumption will likely double(1). The advanced nuclear fuels required during the next 50 years are expected to differ significantly from those used in the last 50 years. AI demand requires high base load energy which will be partially supplied by large growth in the nuclear industry from Small Modular Reactors. Many small modular and advanced reactors in the future are expected to require HALEU. The Company has received interest from potential customers who collectively require over $37 billion of HALEU between the present day and 2037, at current market prices. ASPI has previously announced that it has entered into two supply agreements with TerraPower, LLC for HALEU from an initial uranium facility they expect to construct at Pelindaba in South Africa. The initial core supply agreement is intended to support the supply of the required first fuel cores for the initial loading of TerraPower's Natrium project in Wyoming during the 2027/28 timeframe. The long-term supply agreement is a 10-year supply agreement of up to a total of 150 metric tons of HALEU, commencing in 2028 through end of 2037. The construction of an advanced nuclear fuel facility in Texas, USA would become the second facility owned or co-owned by QLE for the production of HALEU. ASPI and QLE are also in discussions with the UK government regarding the construction of an advanced nuclear fuel facility in the UK. ASPI has also previously announced its intention to spin out QLE as a separate public company listed on the NASDAQ stock exchange in 4Q25. The signing of the Joint Venture MOU with Fermi America was facilitated by Ocean Wall Limited, who acted as adviser to both ASP Isotopes and Fermi America in establishing this strategic partnership.
