HAL To Fill the Void

"The sudden demise of Aloha "has changed aviation in Hawaii profoundly", says Hawaiian chief executive Mark Dunkerley.

Hawaiian is seeking take up the slack on local routes that are underserved following Aloha's exit. But Dunkerley says the Honolulu-based carrier will not seek to replace Aloha seat for seat, nor will it attempt to replace much of the capacity lost between Hawaii and the mainland US west coast as a result of the sudden shutdown of Aloha and ATA Airlines."
