Aloha Airlines to Shut Down Passenger Flight Operations
Posted on: Monday, 31 March 2008, 06:00 CDT
Aloha Airlines has announced that it will be shutting down its inter-island and transpacific passenger flight operations, and its last day of operations will be March 31, 2008.
Code-share partner United Airlines and other airlines are prepared to assist and accommodate Aloha's passengers who have been inconvenienced. The shutdown of Aloha's passenger operations will affect about 1,900 employees.
Aloha has also announced that its air cargo and aviation services units will continue to operate as usual while the US Bankruptcy Court seeks bids from potential buyers.
David Banmiller, president and CEO of Aloha Airlines, said: "This is an incredibly dark day for Hawaii. Despite the groundswell of support from the community and our elected officials, we simply ran out of time to find a qualified buyer or secure continued financing for our passenger business."
