Thursday May 3, 6:15 pm ET
CHICAGO and HONOLULU, May 3 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- United Airlines (Nasdaq: UAUA - News) and Aloha Airlines today announced plans to expand their existing cooperation agreement and strengthen their partnership in the Hawaii and TransPacific markets.
The agreement capitalizes on both Aloha's and United's 60 years of experience in serving Hawaii, and expands marketing, operational and financial opportunities for both carriers. Under the agreement, United Airlines receives a minority equity stake in Aloha that could expand over time and a seat on Aloha's board of directors.
"We are pleased to broaden and deepen our relationship with Aloha, as we celebrate our 60th anniversary of serving Hawaii," said Jake Brace, United's executive vice president and Chief Financial Officer. "Hawaii is one of the most important travel destinations for our customers, and by expanding our codeshare with Aloha, we are providing both Aloha's and United's customers more opportunities to both earn miles and travel seamlessly across carriers."
"The beauty of this for Aloha is that we will benefit from the financial and worldwide marketing strength of one of the world's largest airlines," said David A. Banmiller, Aloha's president and chief executive officer. "Both airlines have a proven record of providing quality air transportation to Hawaii's residents and visitors, who will reap the benefits as we work closely with United to market Hawaii's popularity as a global tourism destination and its links to Asia and the Pacific."
United Airlines is the U.S. airline that offers the most service to the 50th state. United's close ties to Hawaii began on May 1, 1947, when it inaugurated service to the Islands with a flight between San Francisco and Honolulu.
Aloha and United have been marketing partners since the early 1990s. Today, frequent flyers in the AlohaPass and United Mileage Plus programs can earn miles and redeem them for travel on either airline.
