No "aloha" for freight from next month
Hawaiian Airlines, which reduced its workforce by nearly 2,500 employees this month when the coronavirus aid, relief and economic security payroll support programme (PSP) expired, will suspend its "‘Ohana by Hawaiian" passenger flights between Honolulu (HNL) and Moloka‘i (MKK) and Lāna‘i (LNY), as well as cargo-only service within the Hawaiian Islands.
Service between HNL and Kapalua (JHM) in West Maui was suspended in March. Hawaiian launched the service with ATR-42 turboprop aircraft in the spring of 2014, followed by all-cargo service with ATR-72 aircraft in the summer of 2018.
Cargo customers will be offered refunds or, depending on the shipment, the option to have their products transported between the islands with Hawaiian’s B717 and A321neo. (ah)
