(Amex: HA; NYSE Arca) (the "Company"), parent company of Hawaiian Airlines,
Inc., announced today that it plans to withdraw its common stock from NYSE
Arca, Inc., formerly the Pacific Exchange. The Company's common stock will
continue to be listed on the American Stock Exchange.
The Company has decided to withdraw its listing from NYSE Arca, Inc. in

inherent with dual listings and as a result of the NYSE Group's recent merger
with Archipelago Holdings, the parent company of NYSE Arca. The withdrawal is
expected to be effective within the next month.

Inc. will have an adverse effect on the liquidity of its stock. NYSE Arca,

privilege basis.
