Aloha Airlines is Bankrupt, Should I be Concerned?
Hey all
I just read about Aloha Airlines going into bankruptcy. http://www.forbes.com/2008/03/21/alo...rtner=yahootix I have a flight with them in this coming May from Hilo to Honolulu. I am just wondering if I should be concerned about this. This is United flight run by Aloha, so should I contact them to get this flight changed to a different airline? Thanks HBS |

I wouldn't worry about it. This isn't the first time they've gone through bankruptcy, they're unlikely to liquidate. |

Thanks HBS May is pretty soon, so I would think the odds are they will be operating. But longer term, their situation is kind of dicey, since (1) this is their second bankrutpcy, and (2) there appears to be no way an airline can make money on 200 mile hops with $100 a barrel oil. |

I have a friend that says I should buy a full fare ticket on another airline. That way I have a back-up plan if Aloha is kaputt in a few months. He also says I get a refund on the ticket if Aloha is still going strong. HBS |

HBS Hey Hot What I was saying if had been listening, is that your Aloha flight was marketed by UA and they should have the burden for getting you to HNL from ITO should Aloha go out of business. I also said that UA most likely would not put you on another airline, unless Aloha does go out of business. I addition you asked about buying a ticket from someone like GO! and I told you that I felt you should not need to do that and unless you bought a full fare ticket you could be out your money if you end up on the original Aloha flight.

I just read about Aloha Airlines going into bankruptcy. They got formal approval to continue full operations under Chapter 11 on Monday. For the next few months, they are a pretty safe bet. What you may see is some changes to the schedule and reducing some frequencies on some routes. You might see change of aircraft type on some routes as well. You should simply keep an eye open for schedule changes on your flights to ensure that if/when they change the schedule (or aircraft type), you are accomodated on a flight that will still connect to your UA flight. |
