Aloha Airlines Square Porcelain Fridge Magnet
Make room on the fridge for a lasting reminder of Honolulu’s airline past. This square porcelain magnet celebrates Aloha Airlines, from its 1946 founding as Trans-Pacific Airlines through its decades of inter-island flying and Boeing 737 Funbird service. A compact keepsake for Hawaii travelers, aviation collectors, and fans of classic airline identity, it honors a carrier whose scheduled passenger flights came to an end on March 31, 2008.
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.
