JUDGE KING RULES IN FAVOR OF PACIFIC AIR CARGO TO CONTINUE AS PLANNED WITH THE PURCHASE AND CONTINUED OPERATION OF ALOHA CONTRACT SERVICES DIVISON

HONOLULU – Aloha Airlines today announced that its Cargo Division has filed Chapter 7. This will not interfere or impact the sale of Aloha Contract Services to Pacific Air Cargo. Today, Judge King concluded at a Court Hearing that the sale to Pacific Air Cargo would move forward as planned and expected.

Aloha’s Contract Services division employs more than 1,000 people and provides key ground-support services for domestic and international airlines at Hawaii’s airports. These services cover a broad range of passenger and aircraft maintenance handling.

“I look forward to working with the State of Hawaii, the Department of Transportation, all our airlines customers and with Aloha’s talented workforce to continue a smooth transition.” “We’re excited about the prospect of this acquisition as it allows Pacific Air Cargo to expand the range of its air transportation services in Hawaii. We have met many of the staff already and they are dedicated and committed. We are prepared to make additional investment in resources to support the fantastic staff,” said Beti Ward, Chief Executive Office of Pacific Air Cargo.”
