While IIP&O was a 747 Launch partner, the long time workhorse of the fleet, and the aircraft used on shorter routes is often the venerable Super VC10:

While IIP&O was an early user of both the VC7 and later the VC10, they did place an order for a small number of 707-420s in the late 50s to fill the gap between the production of the two aforementioned airframes (The VC7 was too heavy and inefficient, and combined with the engines being embedded in the wing, it was not a completely popular aircraft).

[ img ]

The 727 was also a very popular airframe (due to the third engine allowing over-water flights - California doesn't follow modern EETOPS rules, and limits the engine-out divert distance for twinjets to just 60 minutes of flying time, but the 727's third engine means that it is able to avoid such restrictions). Shown here is an IIP&O 727-200 with Conway engines (placing it early in the carrier of the airframe, as many of the later airframes got more efficient engines).

I'm just the guy with the brush. Voyager here is the one that came up with the Livery in the first place.

Future Plans: The replacement of the 732s is needed soon, and the selection of (TBD) occurred in the late 00s (options included Emraer, Airbus, Boeing, and Vickers-Kaurna)
If the 737MAX6 (Non-real concept of 737MAX upgrades applied to 737-600 sized airframe) is selected, it would look like this:

As mentioned to you privately, the CFM does not like short, frequent operations. It apparently runs a very hot core that needs time to stabilize.

Ah yes, is there any aircraft you would recommend for the airline?

Edit: After off-board consultations, The VC.17 will be going to Aloha, while HA will get 717s.
