Aloha Airlines Metal Sign
Give your wall a destination rooted in Honolulu aviation history. This Aloha Airlines metal sign celebrates the carrier founded as Trans-Pacific Airlines in 1946, its evolution from DC-3s to BAC One-Elevens and Boeing 737 Funbirds, and the inter-island service that made the name memorable across Hawaii. A distinctive display for airline collectors, travel spaces, garages, offices, and fans of the final 2008 chapter of passenger operations.
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.
