Hawaiian Airlines Expanding West Coast-Hawaii Service

San Diego, Seattle, Portland, Sacramento and Los Angeles to Get More Flights

HONOLULU, May 4 /PRNewswire/ -- Responding to consumer demand and with four more Boeing 767-300 jets joining its fleet this fall, Hawaiian Airlines, a subsidiary of Hawaiian Holdings, Inc. (Amex: HA; PCX), today announced a significant expansion of its service to Hawaii from San Diego, Seattle, Portland, Sacramento and Los Angeles (see schedule below).

Mark Dunkerley, Hawaiian's president and CEO, commented, "Our fleet expansion is allowing us to better accommodate the strong demand for our wide-body service to Hawaii."

Hawaiian is recalling 22 furloughed pilots and -- having previously recalled all remaining furloughed flight attendants -- is hiring approximately 100 new flight attendants to support the added flying. "In addition to helping us spread our costs over a wider revenue base, this expansion allows us to bring back more of our furloughed employees, which is an important goal," Dunkerley added.

Hawaiian had the highest load factor of all airlines nationally in both 2004 and 2005, and has retained its standing as the industry leader in load factor through the first quarter of this year.

Starting September 6, Hawaiian is expanding its daily nonstop San Diego-Maui service from summer flights only to service year-round. On October 13, Hawaiian is increasing both its nonstop Seattle-Maui and Portland-Maui flights to daily service, resulting in seven new flights per week to Maui from the Pacific Northwest's gateway cities.

Beginning November 19, Hawaiian is adding four weekly flights to its nonstop Sacramento-Honolulu daily service increasing to 11 the total number of weekly flights. Also that day, Hawaiian is expanding its Seattle-Honolulu service with three additional flights per week, bringing to 10 the total number of weekly flights served on this route.

For summer 2007, Hawaiian is converting one of its Los Angeles-Honolulu flights from four flights weekly to daily service to accommodate peak summer travel demand and increase nonstop service of its most popular route to three flights daily.

Tickets for the new flights can be booked and purchased online at HawaiianAirlines.com, or by calling Hawaiian's reservations department at the toll-free number of 1-800-367-5320, or from Oahu at 838-1555.
