Aloha Is America’s No. 1 On-Time Carrier Again

HONOLULU, Feb. 7 /PRNewswire/ — For the second month in a row, Aloha Airlines is the nation’s Number One airline for on-time performance. Aloha also tops the list for fewest complaints.

With 93.7 percent of all Aloha flights arriving on time in December 2006, Aloha took top honors among 20 U.S. air carriers that provide monthly data to the U.S. Department of Transportation. Aloha was also Number One in fewest complaints, and was in fact the only airline with zero complaints for the reporting period.

“Competing against the nation’s best carriers and coming out best in on- time arrival and consumer satisfaction for two months straight is a tribute to the can-do spirit of the men and women of Aloha Airlines,” said David A. Banmiller, Aloha’s president and chief executive officer. “Our team is striving to provide the best possible service to all of our customers every day, in the spirit of hospitality that gives us our name.”

The DOT’s latest monthly Air Travel Consumer Report, issued this week, covers the month of December 2006. Aloha has been reporting its performance statistics to the U.S. government voluntarily since April 2006. Because the Hawaii-based carrier did not report for the entire year, Aloha’s performance statistics were not included in the Air Travel Consumer Report comparison for the full year 2006.

Now in its 61st year of service to Hawaii, Aloha serves the islands of Oahu, Maui, Kauai and the Big Island of Hawaii with comfortable, full-size Boeing jets and convenient flights throughout the day. Aloha also offers transpacific service between the Islands and Oakland, Sacramento, Orange County, San Diego, Las Vegas and Reno.

Hawaii’s Favorite Airline, Aloha was voted Best Inter-island Airline by the readers of Hawaii’s largest daily newspaper. Aloha’s transpacific service has consistently received high ratings in readers’ polls by Conde Nast Traveler, Travel+Leisure, and Zagat Survey. Aloha Airlines is also the leader in air cargo and aviation contract services in the State of Hawaii. For information and reservations, visit http://www.alohaairlines.com/ or call 1-877-TRY ALOHA.
