Associated Press2:57 PM CDT, May 12, 2009 HONOLULU - Interisland carrier go! airlines has slipped back into the red amid more competition from Republic and Mokulele airlines.
Phoenix-based Mesa Air Group says its nearly 3-year-old Hawaii airline suffered a $2.1 million operating loss in the January to March period.
The loss came after the airline posted its first-ever operating profit in the previous quarter.
Mesa chief executive officer Jonathan Ornstein says the company has faced additional competition as a result of Republic Airways' entry into the Hawaii market.
In November, Indianapolis-based Republic and Kona-based Mokulele launched a new, low-fare interisland service using 70-seat Embraer 170 aircraft operated by Republic.
