Airlines Hawaii

Hawaiian and Aloha airlines are expanding service from Southern California to Hawaii after the collapse last month of their proposed merger. Hawaiian on June 7 will begin daily nonstop service to Honolulu from Ontario and (and also Sacramento) using 767-300 ER aircraft that can carry 252 passengers. In February it announced plans to resume daily nonstop LAX-Maui flights on June 15 (flights were suspended after Sept. 11) and add a fourth daily flight between LAX and Honolulu for the summer.

The parent company of Hawaiian Airlines, a troubled firm part-owned by former Olympic organizer Peter V. Ueberroth, said Monday that it defaulted on some aircraft leases and on a loan from Security Pacific Bank. The defaults came amid continued losses at HAL Inc. HAL said Monday that it lost $13.3 million for the third quarter, bringing its loss to $56.3 million for the first nine months of 1990. Revenue for the third quarter was $101.5 million.

An investment group headed by J. Thomas Talbot and Peter V. Ueberroth, the former major league baseball commissioner, said Wednesday that it will not buy troubled Hawaiian Airlines as planned unless it gets hefty concessions from the airline's unions. In a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Ueberroth group said it is seeking a three-year wage freeze from the unions and changes in work rules that would increase productivity 30%.

Hawaiian Airlines, which has agreed to be taken over by a Newport Beach investor group, said it will reduce its work force by about 200 employees after Jan. 1, 1990, in order to cut costs. Hawaiian Airlines Chief Executive Officer John Magoon Jr. said Wednesday that the layoffs will total just under 7% of the company's total work force and will include both full-time and part-time workers.

State tourism officials are trying to arrange charter flights for 9,000 passengers stranded by the sudden closure of ATA Airlines. Hawaii Tourism Authority President Rex Johnson said in Honolulu that officials were talking to Hawaiian Airlines and other carriers about adding flights to and from Hawaii. Tourism officials said the remaining airlines that connect Hawaii to the mainland are already operating at full capacity due to the earlier shutdown of Aloha Airlines' passenger service.
