Hawaiian Airlines Appoints Rick Fall

Senior Director – Cargo Sales and Service

HONOLULU –- Hawaiian Airlines, the nation's first federally certified air carrier, today announced the appointment of Rick Fall as senior director of cargo sales and service.

Fall is responsible for all aspects of Hawaiian's cargo program but is particularly focused on developing new revenue opportunities within the islands, and between Hawaii and destinations it serves in the Western U.S., the South Pacific, and Australia.

“Rick's experience and strong industry ties within Asia Pacific will be especially useful in expanding our growth potential within that region,” said Norm Davies, Hawaiian's executive vice president of operations.

Fall brings 34 years of airline experience to Hawaiian, including the past seven years for Continental Airlines as its Honolulu-based director of cargo sales for Asia Pacific.

Prior to that, he managed national travel agency sales for Continental in Houston from 1995-1997, as well as for Delta Air Lines in Atlanta from 1990-1995. His airline career began in 1970 with Western Airlines in Los Angeles.

Fall earned his Bachelor of Arts in Sociology from California State University at Long Beach, along with a Masters in Business Administration from National University in San Diego.

Hawaiian has earned a special stature within the air cargo industry, being the first federally certified carrier to provide regularly scheduled freight service on March 20, 1942. Its federal cargo certificate number: 001.

Hawaiian's conversion to Boeing 767-300 aircraft in 2003 for transpacific service increased its cargo carrying capacity by 34 percent and created new opportunities to transport goods between Hawaii and the West Coast, especially in conjunction with Asia-based carriers.
