Raise a glass to the history of inter-island air travel with this Aloha Airlines pint glass. The carrier began flying in 1946, linking Honolulu with Maui and Hilo, and grew from propeller service into the jet age. Its changing names and routes trace a distinctive chapter in Hawaii’s aviation story. A thoughtful choice for collectors, airline enthusiasts, and anyone who remembers the Aloha name and its place in island life.
Aloha Airlines began as Trans-Pacific Airlines, a charter carrier founded by publisher Ruddy F. Tongg Sr. and partners in Honolulu. It commenced service on July 26, 1946, flying a Douglas C-47 from Honolulu to Maui and Hilo. After receiving approval for scheduled service in 1949, it adopted the name TPA-The Aloha Airline in 1950. Real estate developer Hung Wo Ching became CEO in 1958 and renamed the company Aloha Airlines. The carrier introduced turboprops and then jets, retiring its last DC-3 in 1961 and beginning BAC One-Eleven service in 1966. Boeing 737s entered service in 1969. Aloha acquired Princeville Airways in 1987; the subsidiary became Aloha IslandAir and later Island Air, independent from 2003. The airline began mainland flights in 2000, but rising costs, fuel prices and competition contributed to repeated bankruptcy filings. Scheduled passenger service ended on March 31, 2008. Its cargo division was sold to Saltchuk Resources and continued as Aloha Air Cargo, while Aloha Contract Services took over ground-handling contract work. In 2011, Yucaipa Companies acquired the Aloha name and other intellectual property.

A sturdy 16oz pint glass that brings a little roadhouse spirit to everyday pours. The clear tempered glass showcases whatever you fill it with — amber beer, cold brew, or fresh juice — while a bold vintage-inspired script wraps the side for a subtle, nostalgic touch. It feels solid in the hand, resists everyday wear, and pairs easily with bar carts, kitchen counters, or a laid-back backyard table. Wash gently by hand to keep the lettering sharp and the glass crystal-clear. Built from tempered materials and assembled in the USA, this glass fits into evenings spent swapping stories, weekend morning routines, or those slow, quiet moments when a simple drink matters.
