Hawaiian Airlines and Boeing Again Extend Lease Negotiations

HONOLULU -- Hawaiian Airlines and Boeing Capital Corporation (BCC) have agreed to a tenth extension of their interim agreement on aircraft leases.

Under the agreement, Hawaiian will continue to use the B717 and B767 aircraft owned by BCC at reduced rental rates, and BCC agrees to defer any exercise of its rights under the bankruptcy code.

Hawaiian has already secured permanent reduced aircraft lease rates on almost half of its fleet with its other lessors, and has been seeking comparable permanent reductions from BCC to implement a successful plan of reorganization for the airline.

The new expiration date is June 30, 2004, subject to court approval. Currently, the agreement expires on May 31. A court hearing to consider the extension has been scheduled for this Friday.

Hawaiian presently leases 11 Boeing 717-200 aircraft for interisland flights and three Boeing 767-300ER aircraft for transpacific flights from BCC.

Hawaiian previously renegotiated and received court approval to assume lease agreements with Ansett Worldwide Aviation Services, which owns seven Boeing 767-300ER aircraft, and with International Lease Finance Corp., which owns four Boeing 767-300ER aircraft.
