Aloha Airlines
Aloha Is America's No. 1 On-Time Carrier Again
For the second month in a row, Aloha Airlines is the nation's Number One airline for on-time performance. Aloha also tops the list for fewest complaints.
With 93.7 percent of all Aloha flights arriving on time in December 2006, Aloha took top honors among 20 U.S. air carriers that provide monthly data to the U.S. Department of Transportation. Aloha was also Number One in fewest complaints, and was in fact the only airline with zero complaints for the reporting period.
"Competing against the nation's best carriers and coming out best in on- time arrival and consumer satisfaction for two months straight is a tribute to the can-do spirit of the men and women of Aloha Airlines," said David A. Banmiller, Aloha's president and chief executive officer. "Our team is striving to provide the best possible service to all of our customers every day, in the spirit of hospitality that gives us our name."
The DOT's latest monthly Air Travel Consumer Report, issued this week, covers the month of December 2006. Aloha has been reporting its performance statistics to the U.S. government voluntarily since April 2006. Because the Hawaii-based carrier did not report for the entire year, Aloha's performance statistics were not included in the Air Travel Consumer Report comparison for the full year 2006.
Now in its 61st year of service to Hawaii, Aloha serves the islands of Oahu, Maui, Kauai and the Big Island of Hawaii with comfortable, full-size Boeing jets and convenient flights throughout the day. Aloha also offers transpacific service between the Islands and Oakland, Sacramento, Orange County, San Diego, Las Vegas and Reno.
Hawaii's Favorite Airline, Aloha was voted Best Inter-island Airline by the readers of Hawaii's largest daily newspaper. Aloha's transpacific service has consistently received high ratings in readers' polls by Conde Nast Traveler, Travel+Leisure, and Zagat Survey. Aloha Airlines is also the leader in air cargo and aviation contract services in the State of Hawaii.

Aloha Airlines is named America's No. 1 On-Time Carrier
Reclaiming a past honor, Aloha Airlines is again the nation's No. 1 airline for on-time performance. Rounding out a Triple Crown sweep of No. 1 airline rankings, Aloha also finished first in the nation for fewest complaints and fewest misplaced bags.
With 93.2 percent of all Aloha flights arriving on time in November 2006, Aloha took top honors among 20 major U.S. air carriers that provide data to the U.S. Department of Transportation. Aloha topped the list for fewest complaints with zero complaints and had the fewest misplaced baggage reports for the reporting period.
"The credit for this recognition as the nation's best airline goes to the 3,500 men and women of Aloha Airlines for staying focused and coming out on top for on-time arrival, baggage delivery and overall customer satisfaction," said David A. Banmiller, Aloha's president and chief executive officer.
The DOT's latest monthly Air Travel Consumer Report, issued this week, covers the month of November 2006. The 10 largest airlines in the country are required to file monthly reports with the federal government while Aloha and other airlines report their performance statistics on a voluntary basis.
In the year 2000, Honolulu-based Aloha was frequently No. 1 for on-time performance. Aloha stopped reporting in 2001 and resumed the practice with its report for the month of April 2006. Prior to this report, Aloha had been No. 2, a shade behind Hawaiian Airlines, which has laid claim to the top spot for three years.
"This is a sweet victory for Aloha because Hawaiian Airlines set such a high bar and kept it high for so long," said Aloha's Banmiller. "We had to work extremely hard to become America's best on-time airline in the month of November."
Aloha recently marked its 60th anniversary, recalling the carrier's first revenue flight in 1946 between Honolulu and Hilo via Kahului. Today, Aloha serves the islands of Oahu, Maui, Kauai and the Big Island of Hawaii with comfortable, full-size Boeing jets and convenient flights throughout the day, including hourly departures on the hour between Oahu and Maui, and Oahu and Kauai. Aloha also offers transpacific service between the Islands and Oakland, Sacramento, Orange County, San Diego, Las Vegas and Reno.
Hawaii's Favorite Airline, Aloha was voted Best Inter-island Airline by the readers of Hawaii's largest daily newspaper.
