Aloha Airlines Heavy Knit Quarter-Zip Sweatshirt
An Aloha Airlines heavy knit quarter-zip sweatshirt brings Hawaiian airline history into a comfortable everyday layer. The Honolulu carrier began in 1946 as Trans-Pacific Airlines, later becoming Aloha Airlines and flying generations of island travelers. Its fleet journey from DC-3s to BAC One-Elevens and Boeing 737 Funbirds makes it a favorite among aviation collectors. Celebrate the airline’s long run and its 2008 passenger-service finale with a classic, understated tribute.
Aloha Airlines was a Honolulu, Hawaii-based passenger carrier that operated from 1946 to 2008, with its hub at Honolulu International Airport, now Daniel K. Inouye International Airport. Publisher Ruddy F. Tongg Sr. founded it as charter carrier Trans-Pacific Airlines, beginning service on July 26, 1946, with a Douglas C-47 flight from Honolulu to Maui and Hilo. Scheduled service followed in June 1949 after federal approval. The company adopted the name TPA-The Aloha Airline in 1950 and became Aloha Airlines in 1958. Its fleet evolved from DC-3s and turboprops to BAC One-Eleven and Boeing 737 jets; the 737-200s were called Funbirds. Aloha acquired Princeville Airways in 1987 as Aloha IslandAir, later Island Air, which became independent in 2003. Mainland service began in 2000. After two Chapter 11 filings, Aloha ended scheduled passenger flights on March 31, 2008. Saltchuk Resources acquired its cargo division, while the Aloha name and intellectual property were purchased by Yucaipa Companies in 2011.
