The CF said…”I assumed Island wasn’t being hurt nearly as bad because they weren’t competing head to head as much.”

Got it, that helps. Thanks

I assumed Island wasn’t being hurt nearly as bad because they weren’t competing head to head as much.

Go’s four routes are the biggest routes for Hawaiian and Aloha, but Island’s bread and butter was always the smaller markets which go will only start touching with their express flights.

If you look at Island Air’s overlap, they only run 6 flights on Honolulu – Kahului (Maui), 2 flights on Honolulu – Kona, 1 flight Honolulu – Hilo, and 2/3 flights Honolulu – Lihue.

I imagine those are the ones that will end up going away and they’ll return to their roots.

Island Air missed their opportunity to kick Hawaiian and Aloha when they were down. Their steps to compete with the two were too tentative in my opinion. In the meantime Go! has come storming onto the scene unabashedly offering unrealistically low fares to try and steal market share. Hawaiian and Aloha are wailing about this trying to get somebody to make Go!…well…stop. But isn’t Island probably getting hurt worse?
