Celebrate the story of Aloha Airlines, the Honolulu carrier that began as Trans-Pacific Airlines in 1946. Its early flights linked Oahu with Maui and Hilo, and its later history followed the shift from propeller aircraft to jets and the expansion to mainland service. Passenger flights ended in 2008, but the company remains part of Hawaii’s aviation heritage. This hoodie or sweatshirt is a comfortable everyday tribute for airline collectors, island travel fans, and aviation history enthusiasts.
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.
