Other proposed noise mitigation measures include a barrier on the north side of the airport and the extension of Runway 8-26 by to the east and displacing the western end of the runway by the same amount, thereby maintaining the runway's length. Community opposition to the construction of a barrier led the State to abandon the idea. It remains unclear if the Hawaii State Department of Transportation will proceed with relocating Runway 8-26 east by 1,850 feet, especially given the 2009 demise of Aloha Airlines, whose older generation Boeing 737-200 fleet was considerably louder than Hawaiian Airlines' relatively modern Boeing 717-200s. However, those Boeing 737 aircraft are still being used by Trans Executive Airlines which continues with night flights to Honolulu. Southwest and United operate the Boeing 737-800 which makes a considerable amount of noise while taking off and landing.
