Aloha Airlines Vanity License Plate
Give your garage, office, or travel-themed space a Honolulu aviation touch with this Aloha Airlines vanity license plate. The carrier’s long story ran from its 1946 Trans-Pacific Airlines charter beginning through decades of inter-island flying, jet service, and its well-known Boeing 737 Funbirds. It recalls the routes and airport memories that connected Hawaii communities before Aloha’s scheduled passenger flights ended in 2008. A standout display piece for collectors of airline history and Hawaiian travel culture.
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.
