Say Aloha To Aloha Airlines (AP Photo/Lucy Pemoni, File)In case you missed it, Hawaii-based Aloha Airlines went out of business earlier this week, leaving lots of passengers holding the proverbial bag (or worthless tickets, in this case), frequent flyer accounts turned to dust, and 1,900 employees out of work. Passengers are scrambling to book seats on Hawaiian Airlines and the newcomer, go!, for inter-island flights, and United for mainland flights that had been booked on Aloha. Aloha had been carrying 11,000 to 13,000 passengers daily between the islands, and that leaves a lot of people stuck holding their beach bags full of sunscreen lotion and chocolate-covered macadamia nuts, wondering how they"ll ever get to Maui or the Big Island. feeds.cbsnews.com |
