Aloha Airlines
 
Has filed for bankruptcy. Unclear at the moment if it will effect service.

They'll survive.

I hope they win millions in their lawsuit against go!

i'm not worried. they say nothing will change for now. didn't they just file recently before go!?

I think they filed back in 2004 and exited bankruptcy in early 2006. A few months after that go! entered the scene.

The airline is now up for sale as they lost their financing. The senate is expected to jump in and help as they did when Hawaiian Airlines was in bankruptcy.

I was kind of expecting this for a while, but I agree--they'll survive. When go! entered the market they were extremely aggressive and it was hard to ignore their fares. Hawaiian stepped up their marketing and partnerships, but Aloha did not. We didn't see a lot of movement from their marketing team until it was (almost) too late......maybe they can still pull it together!
