Hawaiian Airlines will discontinue its regional subsidiary Ohana by Hawaiian, which means the airline will be forced to discontinue flights to some destinations. Hawaiian Airlines terminates regional subsidiaryOhana by Hawaiian, which was founded in 2014, was the regional subsidiary of Hawaiian Airlines. The airline operated a fleet of seven ATR turboprop aircraft – including four cargo ATR-72s and three passenger ATR-42s. Hawaiian’s Ohana suspended operations during the pandemic for several reasons:
Well, today it was announced that Ohana by Hawaiian will permanently cease operations:
Peter Ingram, CEO of Hawaiian Airlines, describes this decision:
Hawaiian’s Ohana will not resume operations What are the practical implications of this?Hawaiian Airlines flies Boeing 717s on Hawaiian inter-island routes and nothing will change there. Hawaiian Airlines uses 717 for its inter-island routes However, there are some routes that were only served by smaller aircraft due to runway restrictions and demand. In particular, flights from Honolulu to Lanai and Molokai were served exclusively by these aircraft.
During the pandemic, the Four Seasons Lanai had to intervene to get passengers to the hotel. The hotel offers round-trip Lanai Air transfers between Honolulu and Lanai at room rates as this is one of the few convenient ways guests can get to the resort. The hotel even has a private lounge at Honolulu Airport. The Four Seasons has offered transfers with Lanai Air The regional carrier Mokulele Airlines is expected to take over some of these routes. The airline currently flies Cessna 208 aircraft but is expected to take over some Beechcraft 1900D aircraft for flights out of Honolulu. Mokulele Airlines will fly Beechcraft 1900Ds Bottom lineHawaiian’s Ohana suspended operations during the pandemic, and it has now been announced that the airline will cease operations on a permanent basis. Apparently, the pandemic caused Hawaiian Airlines to crack the numbers for this operation and decide that it is no longer practical. While Hawaiian Airlines’ Boeing 717 can service most inter-island routes, there are a few exceptions, such as Honolulu to Lanai. For these routes, Mokulele Airlines is expected to step in and add the service with larger aircraft. What do you think of Ohana if Hawaiians go out of business?
