Other remarkable facts

Over 76 years of continuous operation without a fatal accident.
Some of the highest paid (and friendliest) in the industry
At least one more flight attendant per flight than some competitors
Average fleet age is about 5 years old, one of the youngest fleets in the nation.
Fares are usually the lowest in the market or at least a very close second.
And last but not least!… One of only three airlines in the nation to actually make a profit last year.

I have two and a half theories. The half theory is that Hawaii is really far away from most of us. Also:
You’re on vacation when you fly Hawaii Airlines, so your expectations are greater.
A lot of people who fly with them rarely do it again, because Hawaii is a rare trip, so it’s harder to incubate the word of mouth.
I hope they start flying NY to Orlando! With free leis and everything.
