Hawaiian Airlines loses $3.4M in 4th quarter

The airline launched four new routes from Honolulu in 2012: to Fukuoka and Sapporo in Japan, plus Brisbane, Australia and New York. It also announced new service from Honolulu to Taiwan, increased service between Honolulu and Sydney, and increased service between Maui and Los Angeles.

The airline recently announced a planned expansion with 16 new Airbus planes for routes between Hawaii and the U.S. West Coast.

"2013 promises to be an equally exciting year for the company with new destinations, new aircraft and more employees being planned," Dunkerley said.
