Aloha Airlines filed bankruptcy on March 21st, after serving the public for more than sixty years. Competition from other Airlines was overwhelming for Aloha and now threatens to conquer Hawaiian Airlines as well. The battle of the airlines is affecting Hawaiians in particular because of three reasons: First, when travel is necessary flight is the only feasible option. Second, Mesa Airlines, the company that drove Aloha out of business, is competing to do the same thing to Hawaiian Airlines. And third, Hawaii’s economy is being affected by the loss of Aloha and the prospect of losing Hawaiian Airlines as well.

Most people do not want to have to spend three to four hours traveling by Ferry when they can fly in less than an hour. Not only does the Ferry take longer, it also costs more. Hawaii is a very expensive state to live in, so most people are trying to save money wherever they can. Last but not least, The Super Ferry is constantly failing to provide consistent service. This makes flying the obvious choice for both interisland and international travel.

Most people will buy the ticket that cost them less, so more people bought tickets from Mesa
