Hawaii to bid adieu to Aloha Airlines
Hawaii bid aloha oe to an island institution last week, when the last Aloha Airlines passenger flight landed in Honolulu.
The 61-year-old carrier, which had filed for bankruptcy protection, shut down service with just a day's notice after saying it had failed to secure financing or find a buyer. Its air-cargo and aviation-service units continued to operate.
