                        REGARDING THE PROPOSED MERGER OF
                      ALOHA AIRGROUP AND HAWAIIAN AIRLINES

                                January 25, 2002

Good morning Chair Chang, Vice Chair Suzuki, and Members of the House Committee
on Tourism:

My name is Glenn Zander, President and Chief Executive Officer of Aloha
Airgroup, parent company of Aloha Airlines and Island Air. Thank you for the
opportunity to appear before your Committee and to provide information about
Aloha and its recently completed agreement to merge our company with Hawaiian to
create a newly formed entity - Aloha Holdings, Inc. More importantly, I hope to
be able to answer questions that the members of the Committee may have arising
from your own or your constituents' concerns about the merger.

This transaction is about how to realize the efficiencies necessary to create a
strong local carrier that can ensure the continued availability of interisland
service. It offers orderly change with particular attention to minimizing job
losses and addressing consumer concerns about pricing and scheduling. In
addition, market forces will continue to limit the combined carrier's behavior.
The proposed transaction is the best outcome for consumers, as well as the
employees of both companies.

To assist the Committee's understanding it is essential to explain what has
changed over the past years and why this necessitates change by the two
principal providers of inter-island air transportation.

Changes in technology now allow airlines to use smaller long-range airplanes to
operate direct flights to the principal tourist destinations of Mainland
visitors: Maui, Kona and Lihue. In the past, only large wide-body aircraft such
as 747's and DC-10's could fly from the Mainland to Hawaii. These wide-bodies
flew to Honolulu and passengers destined to the Neighbor Islands would transfer
to Aloha or Hawaiian for the inter-island segment. However, as new generation
757 and 767 aircraft have been deployed by the Major carriers, they now serve
these Neighbor Island destinations directly.

It is important to note that these aircraft not only carry non-stop passengers
from the West Coast but because of the powerful networks of the Majors,
passengers are transferred to these flights from all 48 contiguous States. In
essence, the Majors have shifted the connecting point away from Honolulu to such
hubs as Los Angeles and San Francisco. This shift also occurred during a period
of low visitor growth for Hawaii. (See Chart 1). There were about 7 million
visitors in 1990 and about the same number in 2000. While those in the tourism
marketing business always seem to find a way to report something positive about
visitor counts, these are the harsh facts of our inter-island business.

Chart 2 reflects this change in capacity over the past decade. Between 1990 and
2001, the number of seats aboard direct flights to Neighbor Islands grew an
average of 14.5 percent per year. Over the same period, the number of seats into
Honolulu declined by 4.2 percent per year. The growth of international direct
flights to the Neighbor Islands was particularly dramatic. In 1991, not a single
direct flight seat was available from any international origin. Today, more than
5 percent of all international seat capacity - some 150,000 seats annually -
bypasses Honolulu on the way to a Neighbor Island airport.

Hence, in a low growth environment, every passenger bled away from a Honolulu
connection, is essentially not replaced. Unfortunately, the frequency and
affordability of inter-island flights for Hawaii's residents depended upon these
transiting visitors.

If you will look at the next chart, Chart 3 displays what happens to
profitability when one more passenger or one less passenger is carried relative
to the break-even point. Even a small change in passengers carried can produce
significant losses. You simply cannot reduce your costs for the one missing
passenger while all of the revenue disappears. Within Hawaii, where both Aloha
and Hawaiian currently operate similar schedules with significant numbers of
empty seats, capacity reductions entail huge risks.

Prior to 9/11 each of us were attempting to cope with the situation in our own
way. After 9/11 something had to change as you can see in Chart 4. Inter-island
traffic dropped virtually overnight from over nine million passengers a year to
less than eight million - a loss of nearly $50 million of annual revenues to
both companies combined. In essence, a bad situation now became untenable.

The merger addresses these issues in a number of ways. By rationalizing
capacity, reducing costs and growing Trans-Pacific flights, you now have one
strong carrier instead of two marginal ones.

For the Hawaii consumer, the reduction in capacity will not be significant or
even noticeable, as a rational schedule will simply eliminate a number of
otherwise empty seats. Similarly, prices will be in the same range they are
today and are guaranteed to be so. Through the offering of a range of prices,
including those lower at off-peak times, residents will have access to great
bargains and this will also tend to balance out demand and assist in providing a
rational schedule.

Both Aloha and Hawaiian have sought to diversify their businesses with services
to the Mainland and Pacific destinations. Hawaiian's strategy has been to
operate large aircraft to major destinations. Our strategy has been to fly to
smaller cities with smaller aircraft and higher yields. Each has worked in its
own way, but operating separately, we remain relatively weak prey for the Major
carriers should they decide to deploy more capacity against us.

By combining our companies, we become stronger with the economies of scale to be
a real force in Trans-Pacific air service. The new merged Company envisions
growth of 10 percent or more annually. This will be a company whose focus is
Hawaii's air travel needs. While Hawaii welcomes the capacity of Major carriers,
it has been and always will be that they move aircraft where the most profits
are available. One year that may be Hawaii, the next may be the Trans-Atlantic.

Hawaii needs a true flagship carrier that will always stay devoted to the needs
of the State. A strong flagship carrier can grow profitably and produce a base
of operations that guarantees real job security and more options for the
residents and consumers of this State.

The combination of our two proud companies offers Hawaii just that.

Significantly, the combined Company will have a proven leader in Greg Brenneman.
As significantly, the new carrier will also continue to have deep roots in our
community. The families of the late Hung Wo Ching and Sheridan Ing will continue
to hold shares in the new Company and seats on the new Company's board, and will
honor the proud traditions that their patriarchs established for Aloha Airlines.

Perhaps the most important message I can leave with you today is that the
outcome many in the State would like is the one alternative that is not
available - the status quo. The status quo cannot be maintained in today's
environment, post-9/11.

On the other hand, the merger creates a strong, efficient local carrier,
provides an orderly transition, protects the vast majority of jobs and puts in
place guarantees to local residents for passenger fares and cargo rates. It is
the right answer for the employees, consumers and the State of Hawaii.

Thank you very much for this opportunity to share our perspectives on the
planned merger with the people of Hawaii.

                           TESTIMONY OF PAUL J. CASEY
                    VICE CHAIRMAN AND CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER
                             HAWAIIAN AIRLINES, INC.

                                January 25, 2002

To:      Chair Chang, Vice Chair Suzuki, and Members of the
                  House Committee on Tourism and Culture:

         My name is Paul Casey and I am the Vice Chairman and CEO of Hawaiian
Airlines. I will first make some general comments, then mention some specifics
and finally answer any questions you may have. Let me make clear that my
comments are primarily from the perspective of Hawaiian Airlines as
representatives of Aloha Airlines and Turnworks have also submitted testimony
for this Informational Briefing.

         The proposed merger is designed to ensure the continued viability of
Hawaii's interisland air service in a changing marketplace. Historically,
Hawaiian Airlines has served the communities throughout the state in spite of
the fact that some routes are not profitable. The stronger routes, and to a
greater extent, service to destinations outside of Hawaii, have subsidized this
complete interisland service for many years. We continue to do it to service our
residents and to provide the necessary air transportation for our tourist based
economy.

         But we also have to recognize the changing environment. A trend in
recent years toward more direct service to the neighbor islands by the major
carriers serving Hawaii has impacted on the profitability of frequent
interisland service. Also, a dramatic drop in visitor traffic from Japan caused
by a faltering economy there has had a significant negative impact on
interisland air traffic.

         Our fourth quarter and year-end financial results for 2001 aren't final
yet, but our results for the third quarter clearly reflect some of these
factors. Although we recorded a third quarter net profit of $12 million, as we
reported in our news release and SEC filings, this included the favorable
effects of $8.5 million in federal aid from the Airline Stabilization Act and a
$5.7 million tax credit. When you compare this to our third quarter results in
the previous year and take into account that in that year our results were
mitigated by a $12.8 million restructuring charge relating to our interisland
fleet modernization program, our results were slightly worse in 2001 than in
2000 on the net line, and operating profits were a little more than HALF what
they were in the third quarter of 2000.

         More recently, the events of September 11 had a devastating effect on
the entire airline industry, and the resulting impact on tourism and our local
industry, including Hawaiian Airlines, has been substantial. It has caused all
of us to rethink the future of air travel and our company. While some reports
show improvement in some of the tourism numbers, there remains uncertainty in
the outlook for air travel to Hawaii and between the islands.

         One thing that will likely not change is the nature of tourism in our
islands. Hawaii is almost completely a leisure travel market, and as we all
know, that generally equates to low yields, or revenue per passenger. Couple
this environment with the escalating costs that all airlines are bearing in the
wake of September 11, and it's easy to see that the best hope our state has for
growth in the local airline industry is in a merger of the two local carriers.

         The proposed merger offers an opportunity to create a larger and
stronger carrier that will continue to be based in Hawaii and be operated by
people who live here. This is clearly in the best long-term interests of the
company's shareholders, the employees, the state and the consumer. For
shareholders, the value is already being recognized in the increased value of
Hawaiian's stock. For our employees, it will provide growth opportunities and
continued job security and stability. For our state and its tourism industry, we
will have a larger, stronger air carrier with growth opportunities focused on
Hawaii. And for Hawaii's residents and consumers, it will provide greater
stability with continued service throughout the state at reasonable rates by
creating a carrier that can better withstand any future negative events
impacting tourism or the airline industry.

         The fact is, all parties to this merger are better off with a merged
carrier - shareholders, employees, consumers and the state as a whole.

         We all recognize that the state's air transportation infrastructure is
critical to our way of life - both from an economic as well as a personal
perspective. The economic future of our islands is dependent on air travel
between the islands. I ask you as our leaders to focus on the opportunities that
this proposed merger offers. And let me repeat that we want an air carrier which
will be based in Hawaii, and operated by people who live here. The majority of
the board of directors of the merged carrier will be residents of Hawaii, which
will help ensure that decisions about our air travel will be made here, not on
the mainland.

         Thank you for the opportunity to explain our position on this merger
and I will be happy to answer any questions you may have.

Chair Chang, Vice Chair Suzuki, and Members of the House Committee on Tourism:


         I apologize to the Committees for being unable to attend today's
informational briefing due to a prior commitment outside the State.

         I have enjoyed getting to know the members of the Legislature and look
forward to spending more time with you in the future. I understand the
importance of this merger to the people of Hawaii, and it is good that there are
informed discussions that lay out the facts and answer questions.

         Today, Steve DeSutter, TurnWorks' Senior Vice President, will be
sharing our thoughts on where we are on the merger, our commitments to our
employees, to you, and to all of the people of the State of Hawaii, and our
vision for the merged carrier. It is a future I am very excited to be a part of,
and I can't wait to work with the professional men and women of each carrier to
bring it to life.

         It is very important that we conduct the merger in an open, forthright
manner. We recognize that the merged airline will have the responsibility of
being a good employer, a good corporate citizen, and an important conduit for
growing the number of visitors to Hawaii. However, we also recognize the special
responsibility we will bear in this island state, where the airways serve as the
islands' highways. We accept that responsibility with the utmost seriousness.
That is why I welcome opportunities like today's hearing to help you and the
community understand that we will live up to those responsibilities.

         Like all of you, I am well aware that there is a level of anxiety among
some employees and the public about the merger and how it might affect every day
life in Hawaii. You will hear details today, but I think I can sum it all up for
you with a straightforward assurance: I and the employees of the merged airline
will work very hard, each and every day to provide a great product with great
service, and in many cases at fares less than today, to make this airline one
that the people of Hawaii can be very proud to call their flagship carrier.

         Thank you, and I look forward to meeting you again very soon.

                       WRITTEN STATEMENT OF STEVE DESUTTER
                     SENIOR VICE PRESIDENT, TURNWORKS, INC.

                Before the House Committee on Tourism and Culture

                                January 25, 2002

                                     OUTLINE
                                     -------

1.       Introduction
         ------------

         We recognize the importance of this merger to the people of Hawaii. It
         is very important that we conduct this merger in an open, forthright
         manner. We welcome opportunities like today's informational briefing to
         help everyone in Hawaii understand what led to the merger and why we
         strongly believe the merger is the best solution, not only for the
         carriers and their shareholders, but also for the employees,
         passengers, and cargo customers of the new carrier, and also for all of
         the people of Hawaii.

2.       Why must the two airlines merge?
         --------------------------------

         Many people have asked us, "What's wrong with the status quo?"

         a.       Pre-September 11. It is true that the past 6 years were the
                  most profitable ever in the airline industry as a whole. Yet
                  Aloha and Hawaiian were unable to capitalize on these good
                  times. For the reasons discussed in Glenn Zander and Paul
                  Casey's testimonies, both carriers lost money. Since 1995
                  through the 3rd quarter of last year, Aloha and Hawaiian
                  together suffered net losses totaling approximately $63
                  million, split about equally between the two carriers.

         b.       After September 11.

                  i. September 11 changed what was already a bad situation
                     into a dire one. Every single U.S. airline, whether
                     regional or national, incurred unprecedented losses
                     during the 4th quarter of 2001. Continental reported a
                     4th quarter loss of $149 million. American lost $734
                     million. Northwest Airlines lost $256 million. U.S.
                     Airways reported a staggering 4th quarter loss of $1
                     billion. Even Southwest Airlines, the most profitable
                     carrier, struggled to make a small profit. But the
                     worst may be yet to come, because United, the country's
                     largest airline, has yet to issue its 4th quarter
                     results.

                 ii. When all of the red ink is totaled, air carriers may
                     end up losing more than $8 billion in 2001 - even after
                     the federal government provided the industry with
                     nearly $2.5 billion in emergency grants.

                iii. Aloha and Hawaiian can discuss the dramatic changes in
                     travel patterns since September 11th; the stronger
                     competition Hawaii faces from other
                     leisure destinations; and the increase in direct
                     flights from the mainland and Asia to the neighbor
                     islands.

                 iv. Given all of these factors, the companies found that
                     it was no longer viable for them to continue to
                     operate as separate companies. Separately, their
                     financial future was uncertain and their prospects
                     for growth were limited.

         c.       Why is the merger necessary if Congress granted Aloha and
                  Hawaiian antitrust immunity following September 11th?

                  i. The antitrust exemption Congress granted would allow Aloha
                     and Hawaiian to consolidate, for example, their flight
                     schedules upon approval from the U.S. Secretary of
                     Transportation. This would allow both of them to save
                     money.

                 ii. The carriers have no assurance that the Secretary would
                     approve.

                iii. Even the Secretary approved, the antitrust exemption is not
                     a cure-all for the difficulties that Aloha and Hawaiian
                     face today.

                     (1)      The exemption is only a temporary solution.
                              It would only allow the carriers to
                              consolidate their flight schedules through
                              October 1st (and no longer than an
                              additional 12 months if the Secretary agrees
                              to extend the exemption).

                     (2)      More importantly, it does not allow the
                              carriers to reduce their aircraft lease
                              payments or to eliminate duplicated
                              expenses, factors which are critical in
                              today's environment.

                     (3)      Ultimately, the antitrust exemption does not help
                              the carriers to grow.

         d.       If the two carriers are not able to grow, they will not be
                  able to help the State of Hawaii grow. That, we believe, is
                  the best reason for the merger. Our plan, which we call the
                  "Go Forward Plan", will help our new airline to grow.

3.       Our plans will help the merged carrier to grow in a way that will
         -------------------------------------------------------------------
         ultimately benefit everyone
         ---------------------------

         To achieve a solid future for the merged airline, we have developed a
         4-part "Go Forward Plan", consisting of a Market Plan, a Financial
         Plan, a Product Plan, and a People Plan. These 4 parts together give us
         a winning plan, a financially strong and well-financed operation, a
         commitment to reliability and great operations, and a team of dedicated
         people working together...all of which will help us to be a great
         airline.

                                                         2

         a.       We call our Market Plan is called "Fly to Win".  Our goal is
                  simple: to increase revenues, and ultimately, to deliver a
                  sustainable profit.

                  i. Passenger and Cargo Prices Caps. We recognize that we
                     have a special responsibility to the people of this
                     island state. We understand that Hawaii's airways are
                     the State's highways, not only for passengers, but also
                     for perishable cargo. We will take that responsibility
                     with the utmost seriousness.

                     Consequently, we have proposed interisland airfare
                     guarantees to the Attorney General. We know that this
                     has been a source of confusion for many people.
                     Subject to costs outside our control, which any
                     carrier would have to pass on, we will cap our
                     interisland coach airfares as follows:

                    (1)      For Hawaii residents, we will make at least
                             10% of all seats available for $55 or less
                             one-way.

                             Another 20% of all seats will be available
                             for $60 or less.

                             We also expect to offer some off-peak
                             flights for less than $55.

                             (a)     We will freeze kama'aina fares at
                                     these levels for at least 2 years,
                                     meaning that there will be no
                                     increases other than for expenses we
                                     cannot control, and which any
                                     carrier would have to pass on.

                             (b)     For the next 3 years after that, any
                                     fare increases would be limited to
                                     the rate of the Consumer Price Index
                                     (again, plus the expenses that we
                                     cannot control).

                    (2)      No one - visitors or residents alike - will
                             pay more than $78 one-way for 2 years (plus
                             the expenses out of our control). We are
                             actually reducing the highest fares from
                             current levels, as this is less than the
                             highest fares charged by the two carriers
                             today.

                             For the next 3 years after that, any
                             increases to the maximum fare would be
                             limited to the rate of the Consumer Price
                             Index (plus the expenses we cannot control).

                    (3)      Why are we capping fares for 30% of our seats
                             for Hawaii residents?

                            (a)    Approximately 30% of Aloha and Hawaiian's
                                   interisland passengers today are Hawaii
                                   residents. We tried to match the number of
                                   Hawaii residents who fly interisland to the
                                   number of discounted interisland seats.
                                   This is how we have tried to keep interisland
                                   air fares affordable for every Hawaii
                                   resident who flies with us.

                            (b)     Beyond that, we will also cap fares on all
                                    of the remaining 70% of all coach seats that
                                    are not subject to the Hawaii resident fare
                                    caps at no more than $78 for the first two
                                    years.  If we must raise fares after that,
                                    we guarantee that any increase will not
                                    exceed the CPI for a 3-year period. There
                                    has been a lot of confusion about when this
                                    maximum $78 fare would apply. There
                                    shouldn't be.  It applies to all of the
                                    coach seats not within the 30% reserved at
                                    lower fares.

                    (4)      Interisland cargo availability and shipping rates.

                            (a)     We know the importance of air cargo
                                    service in these islands, where the
                                    daily newspapers from Honolulu,
                                    orchids from the Big Island, and poi
                                    from Kauai are all transported by
                                    air.

                            (b)     We will continue to serve our cargo
                                    customers and we will honor all of
                                    the cargo contracts that Aloha and
                                    Hawaiian currently have in place.

                            (c)     We will cap interisland cargo rates.
                                    If we need to increase shipping
                                    rates, we promise not to raise them
                                    above the CPI for 5 years.

                            (d)     Interisland cargo is a profitable and very
                                    competitive business.  We do not wish to
                                    lose that business.

                    (5)     People have asked us, "How do we know that
                            you will deliver on these fare commitments?"
                            We have made these airfare and cargo rate
                            commitments in a settlement proposal to the
                            Attorney General. If the Attorney General
                            finds that the merger is permissible under
                            State antitrust laws, we will agree to abide
                            by these proposals in a legally-enforceable
                            agreement. Put simply, if we do not deliver,
                            the Attorney General can sue us. We are very
                            serious about abiding by our commitments.

                    (6)     People have also asked us, why did we propose
                            5 years?

                            (a)     5 years is a very long time in
                                    business. Very few businesses would
                                    voluntarily agree to price caps for
                                    any period of time, let alone 5
                                    years.

                            (b)     "How can we be sure that you won't raise
                                    passenger and cargo fares to unreasonable
                                    levels after that?"

                                    (i)      The answer is simple. We
                                             expect to have competition
                                             at some point in any event.
                                             But we know that if we
                                             raise our passenger and
                                             cargo rates to unacceptable
                                             levels (and, for that
                                             matter, if we provide bad
                                             service), other carriers
                                             will step in that much
                                             sooner to provide service.

                                    (ii)     There are lots of airplanes
                                             available today, there are
                                             no barriers such as a
                                             limited number of gates or
                                             takeoff or landing slots to
                                             prevent another carrier
                                             from coming in to offer
                                             service.

                                    (iii)    If we are to be a
                                             successful airline, we will
                                             need to keep our customers
                                             - everyone in the State of
                                             Hawaii - happy.

                 ii. Interisland routes and flight schedule.

                     (1)      We will maintain all existing interisland
                              routes. We will continue to serve all of the
                              island communities that depend on us now,
                              including smaller airports like those on
                              Molokai and Lanai. Only a carrier that is
                              based in Hawaii and belongs to this
                              community would make a commitment like this.
                              A mainland-based carrier almost certainly
                              would selectively focus on serving only the
                              most popular destinations.

                     (2)      We will be consolidating our interisland
                              flight schedules, eliminating about 10% of
                              the total number of our interisland flights,
                              without inconveniencing our passengers.

                              (a)     Aloha and Hawaiian today have flight
                                      schedules that are very similar.
                                      This means that they often each have
                                      a plane leaving the same airport
                                      within a few minutes of each other
                                      going to the same place, each with
                                      fewer than 30 passengers aboard.

                              (b)     We will eliminate these types of
                                      duplicated flights, so that all 60
                                      passengers will fly on one plane,
                                      instead of two, which will leave at
                                      roughly the same time that everyone
                                      is used to.

                              (c)     This means that we will have fewer
                                      empty seats, but not at the expense of
                                      our passengers' convenience.

                     (3)      We will closely monitor the demand for our
                              scheduled interisland flights. If the demand
                              for a scheduled route grows, resulting in an
                              annual average capacity of 80%, we will add
                              planes to service that route.

                iii. Overseas routes.

                     (1)      As our airline becomes profitable, we will
                              begin to aggressively grow the airline into
                              other West Coast and inland cities.

                     (2)      There is a good chance that we will be the only
                              carrier to grow quickly in the U.S. over the next
                              5 years.

                     (3)      We believe that as we grow, everybody wins.

                              (a)     As we grow, we will be able to bring
                                      back our furloughed employees, hire
                                      more people, and bring more visitors
                                      to Hawaii.

                              (b)     We will also help to find new markets
                                      for the orchids from Hilo and for the
                                      papayas from Kauai.

         b.       To grow, we must have a financial plan.

                  We call our Financial Plan "Fund the Future".

                  i. We will improve our cash position.  We are working to make
                     sure that our airline has plenty of cash. This will allow
                     us to buy or lease our airplanes at the lowest possible
                     cost.

                 ii. Our Financial Plan calls for significant savings in
                     aircraft lease costs.

                     (1)      Aloha and Hawaiian today pay more than most
                              carriers to lease planes because their
                              history of making money is poor and their
                              prospects are limited.

                     (2)      Under the leadership of Greg Brenneman, we
                              plan to change that. Greg is formerly the
                              president of Continental Airlines. During
                              the last 4 years that he was there,
                              Continental purchased more airplanes from
                              Boeing than any other carrier. As a result,
                              Greg and the team at Continental developed a
                              tremendous relationship with Boeing.

                     (3)      Boeing has great faith in our plan and in Greg,
                              and is expected to make lease concessions as
                              part of our planned fleet restructuring
                              program. This will allow the merged carrier
                              to save millions of dollars annually on
                              lease payments for the existing fleet.

                     (4)      Boeing would only make these lease
                              concessions available to us as the combined
                              carrier and not to Aloha or Hawaiian
                              separately.

                     (5)      It is no surprise that some of our airplanes
                              are getting old. Our Financial Plan calls
                              for a significant investment in new
                              aircraft. Once the merger is completed, we
                              will be ordering new Boeing aircraft to
                              replace our old airplanes and grow our
                              fleet. This will allow us to grow into new
                              destinations. In fact, we plan to
                              approximately double the number of long
                              range aircraft as well as trans-Pacific
                              flights by the year 2005.

                  iii.     Because the merged company will not need two sets of
                           executive staff and related support staff, our
                           Financial Plan calls for the elimination of redundant
                           administrative costs as a result of the merger.

                  iv.      All of these initiatives will give us more liquidity
                           - in other words, essentially free up more cash. We
                           will invest that liquidity in technology, not only at
                           the check-in counters (as discussed below) but also
                           with expanded e-ticketing and direct marketing on the
                           Internet to help us grow our business.

         c.       We call our Product Plan"Make Reliability a Reality".

                  i. We will do all of the things airlines must do to be
                     successful.

                     (1)      Quite simply, we will get our customers to their
                              destinations safely, on time, and with their bags.

                     (2)      We will provide our customers with a quality
                              product from food, to seats, to baggage
                              handling, to magazines, to the appearance
                              and cleanliness of our airplanes.

                     (3)      Hawaii is known for a special kind of service.
                              Aloha and Hawaiian's employees already provide it.
                              We will continue to do so tomorrow.

                 ii. We will improve our on-time performance.

                     (1)      Both airlines have been successful at delivering
                              great, award-winning service.

                     (2)      However, the on-time performance of all
                              airlines has deteriorated significantly as a
                              result of the new security measures. We will
                              address this with staffing, schedule
                              changes, and technology.

                      (3)     The new security requirements have also
                              resulted in longer customer lines at the
                              check-in desk. We will fix this problem as
                              well. With improved technology, we will help
                              our ticket agents get passengers their
                              boarding passes and luggage tags more
                              quickly and efficiently, so that our
                              customers won't have to wait so long in
                              line. By using technology effectively, we
                              believe we can cut the time passengers stand
                              in line by 60 to 70 percent.

         d.       We would not be able to do any of this without the people of
                  our airline.

                  Our People Plan is called "Working Together".

                  i. Working Together means that we will bring everyone
                     together, with dignity and respect. Working Together
                     means we need to treat each other with dignity and
                     respect. There are challenges inherent in merging two
                     groups of employees who have a lot of history and a
                     lot of pride in their respective companies. Working
                     Together means that we bring everyone together, to be
                     a part of one team.

                 ii. Working Together also means having a leader who treats
                     everyone fairly, and who will provide open, honest,
                     and direct communication.  That leader is Greg Brenneman.

                     (1)      Since the merger announcement, Greg has
                              focused on meeting and getting to know the
                              employees of Aloha and Hawaiian airlines. So
                              far, he has met more than 3,500 out of the
                              companies' 6,100 employees on the Big
                              Island, Maui, Kauai, and Oahu.

                     (2)      He is also leaving weekly voicemails for
                              employees to update everyone on the progress
                              of pulling the companies together.

                     (3)      Greg appreciates the fair, open-minded
                              evaluation of our proposals that union
                              leadership has shown, as well as the union
                              leaders' commitment to doing the best
                              possible job on behalf of their members.

                     (4)      In the month since the merger announcement,
                              we've learned that the majority of our
                              employees are committed to bringing the two
                              carriers together, to minimize the
                              challenges we together will face, and to get
                              on to greater things.

                iii. Working Together means treating everyone fairly as we
                     integrate the  two airlines.

                     (1)      We know this subject has caused a lot of anxiety
                              among our employees.

                     (2)      It is true that we will have to furlough or
                              lay off certain employees to pave the way
                              for the new carrier's future growth. The
                              sooner the airline can grow, the sooner we
                              can bring the employees back. We promise to
                              do that as soon as we possibly can.

                     (3)      In the meantime, we promise that every
                              employee, and especially those who are
                              furloughed or laid-off, will be treated with
                              dignity and respect.

                     This means that we are working very hard to avoid
                     furloughs.

                     (4)      We have made a "no furlough" offer to more
                              than 70% of the unionized work force,
                              including the flight attendants, gate, ramp,
                              reservations, and contract services agents.

                     (5)      We have been asked why we have not made
                              no-furlough offers to the remaining 30% of
                              the unionized employees.

                              (a)     These employee union groups consist of
                                      the pilots, dispatchers, mechanics, and
                                      corporate IAM.

                              (b)     We anticipate that some reductions
                                      in employment will be required in
                                      these areas, but we will not be able
                                      to make any offer until our fleet
                                      plan and schedules have been
                                      determined. We will make a fair
                                      offer to these employees in the
                                      coming weeks.

                     (6)      The last group of employees consists of the
                              two companies' executive staff and related
                              support staff. Because the merged company
                              will not need two sets of executives and
                              related positions, certain positions will be
                              eliminated. However, we will not be able to
                              make determinations about specific positions
                              until the merger is complete. We will treat
                              every employee fairly and honestly.

                     (7)      We will do what we can to minimize the impact on
                              all employees who are furloughed or laid off.

                              (a)     For unionized employees, we will honor all
                                      requirements specified in their collective
                                      bargaining agreements.

                              (b)     Where we can, we will use early retirement
                                      offers and other incentives to lessen the
                                      impact.

                     (8)      Again, we want very much to bring our
                              furloughed employees back as quickly as we
                              can. To do this, we will need to grow as
                              quickly as possible. Our employees, and all
                              of you, have our commitment to do this as
                              quickly as we can.

                 iv. In the meantime, we will also take care of our family
                     of employees. We will establish a fund for employees
                     in need, to be managed by a committee comprised of
                     line employees. At Greg Brenneman's request, the
                     Company will make a contribution of $250,000 to the
                     fund upon the closing of the merger.

                  v. Ultimately, we will need to grow to bring our furloughed
                     employees back as quickly as possible. Our employees,
                     and all of you, have our commitment that we will do this
                     as soon as possible.

                 vi. Moving forward,

                     (1)      Our new livery and uniforms will reflect the
                              traditions and strengths of both airlines
                              and will have a look and feel that will make
                              all Hawaii proud.

                     (2)      The company will adopt employee incentives
                              so that employees see a direct benefit from
                              providing great service and a great product.

4.       Conclusion

         For all these reasons, we are confident that working together, we will
         have a terrific future as a successful company, with good people in
         good jobs, providing a great experience for our passengers with the
         reliable service they would expect and deserve from Hawaii's flagship
         carrier.

                       WRITTEN STATEMENT OF STEVE DESUTTER
                     SENIOR VICE PRESIDENT, TURNWORKS, INC.

                Before the House Committee on Tourism and Culture

                                January 25, 2002

Chair Chang, Vice Chair Suzuki, and
Members of the House Committee on Tourism and Culture:


          My name is Steve DeSutter and I am the Senior Vice President of
TurnWorks. We understand the importance of this merger to the people of Hawaii,
and so it is very important that we conduct the merger in an open, forthright
manner.

          That is why we welcome opportunities like today's informational
briefing to help you - as well as everyone in Hawaii - understand what led to
the merger, and why we strongly believe the merger is the best solution, not
only for the carriers and their shareholders, but also for the employees,
passengers, and cargo customers of the new carrier, and ultimately, for all of
the people of Hawaii.

Why must the two airlines merge?
--------------------------------

          People have told us, "We like having the two airlines and
don't want it to change," and "what's wrong with the status quo?" It is true, as
many of you know, that the past 6 years were the most profitable ever in the
airline industry as a whole. Yet during that time, Aloha and Hawaiian were
unable to capitalize on the good times. For the reasons that Glenn Zander and
Paul Casey are describing in their testimonies, both carriers lost money. Since
1995 through the 3rd quarter of last year, Aloha and Hawaiian together suffered
net losses totaling approximately $63 million, split about equally between the
two carriers.

          September 11 changed what was already a bad situation into a dire one.
Every single U.S. airline, whether regional or national, incurred unprecedented
losses during the 4th quarter of 2001. For example, Continental Airlines
reported a 4th quarter loss of $149 million. American lost $734 million.
Northwest Airlines lost $ 256 million. U.S. Airways reported a staggering 4th
quarter loss of $1billion. Even Southwest Airlines, the most profitable carrier,
struggled to make a small profit. But the worst may be yet to come, because
United, the country's largest airline, has yet to issue its 4th quarter results.
When all of the red ink is totaled, air carriers may end up losing more than $8
billion in 2001 - even after the federal government provided the industry with
nearly $2.5 billion in emergency grants.

          As for Aloha and Hawaiian, Glenn and Paul can tell you about the
dramatic changes in travel patterns since September 11th; the stronger
competition Hawaii faces from other leisure destinations; and the increase in
direct flights from the mainland and Asia to the neighbor islands. Given all of
these factors, the companies found that it was no longer viable for them to
continue to operate as separate companies. Separately, their financial future
was uncertain, and their prospects for growth were limited.

          People have asked us why the merger is necessary if the carriers
obtained antitrust immunity from Congress following September 11. Let me
explain. It is true that the antitrust exemption Congress granted would allow
Aloha and Hawaiian to consolidate their schedules, for example, if the U.S.
Secretary of Transportation approved. It is also true that this would allow both
of them to save money. However, the carriers have no assurance that the
Secretary would, in fact, approve. Even if he did, the antitrust exemption is
not a cure-all for the difficulties that Aloha and Hawaiian face today. First,
the exemption is only a temporary solution. It would only allow the carriers to
consolidate their flight schedules through October 1st (and no longer than an
additional twelve months if the Secretary agrees to extend the exemption). More
importantly, it does not allow the carriers to reduce their aircraft lease
payments or to eliminate duplicated expenses, factors which are critical in
today's environment. Ultimately, the antitrust exemption does not help the
carriers to grow. If the carriers are not able to grow, they will not be able to
help the State of Hawaii grow.

          That, we believe, is the best reason for the merger. Our plan, which
we call the "Go Forward Plan," will help our new airline to grow.

Our plans will help the merged carrier to grow in a way that will ultimately
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
benefit everyone
----------------

          To achieve a solid future for the merged airline, we have developed a
4-part "Go Forward Plan", consisting of a Market Plan, a Financial Plan, a
Product Plan, and a People Plan. These 4 parts together give us a winning plan,
a financially strong and well-financed operation, a commitment to reliability
and great operations, and a team of dedicated people working together... all of
which will help us to be a great airline. Let me tell you about each of the 4
components of our plan.

          Our Market Plan is called "Fly to Win". The goal of our market plan is
simple: to increase revenues and ultimately, to deliver a sustainable profit.

          That being said, we recognize that we have a special responsibility to
the people of this island state. We understand that Hawaii's airways are the
State's highways, not only for passengers, but also for perishable cargo. We
will take that responsibility with the utmost seriousness.

          First, let me talk about the interisland airfare guarantees we have
proposed to the Attorney General. We know that this has been the source of
confusion for many people. Subject to costs outside our control, which any
carrier would have to pass on, we will cap our interisland coach airfares as
follows:

          o    For Hawaii residents, we will make at least 10% of all seats
               available for $55 or less one-way. Another 20% of all seats will
               be available for $60 or less. We also expect to offer some
               off-peak flights for less than $55. We will freeze kama'aina
               fares at these levels for two years, meaning that there will be
               no increases other than for expenses we cannot control...and
               which any carrier would have to pass on. For the next three years
               after that, any fare increases would be limited to the rate of
               the Consumer Price Index (again, plus the expenses that we cannot
               control).

          o    No one - visitors or residents alike - will pay more than $78
               one-way for two years (plus the expenses out of our control).
               This means that we are actually reducing the highest fares from
               current levels, as this is less than the highest fares charged by
               the two carriers today. For the next three years after that, any
               increases to the maximum fare would be limited to the rate of the
               Consumer Price Index (plus the expenses we cannot control).

          For Hawaii residents, why are we capping fares for 30% of our seats?
If you ask Aloha and Hawaiian, they will tell you that approximately 30% of
their interisland passengers are Hawaii residents. As you can see, we tried to
match the number of Hawaii residents that fly interisland to the number of
discounted interisland seats. This is how we have tried to keep interisland air
fares affordable for every Hawaii resident that flies with us.

          Beyond that, we will also cap fares on all of the remaining 70% of all
coach seats that are not subject to the Hawaii resident fare caps at no more
than $78 for the first two years. If we must raise fares after that, we
guarantee that any increase will not exceed the CPI for a three-year period.
Now, there has been a lot of confusion about when this maximum $78 fare would
apply. There shouldn't be. It applies to all of the coach seats not within the
30% reserved at lower fares.

          There has also been a lot of concern about interisland cargo
availability and shipping rates. We know the importance of air cargo service in
these islands, where the daily newspapers from Honolulu, orchids from the Big
Island, and poi from Kauai are all transported by air. We will continue to serve
our cargo customers, and we will honor all of the cargo contracts that Aloha and
Hawaiian currently have in place. If we need to increase shipping rates, we
promise not to raise them above the CPI for five years. Interisland cargo is a
profitable and very competitive business. We do not wish to lose that business.

          Now, people have asked us, "how do we know that you will deliver on
these fare commitments?" We have made these airfare and cargo rate commitments
in a settlement proposal to the Attorney General. If the Attorney General finds
that the merger is permissible under State antitrust laws, we will agree to
abide by these proposals in a legally-enforceable agreement. Put simply, if we
do not deliver, the Attorney General can sue us. As you can see, we are serious
about abiding by our commitments.

          People have also asked us, why did we propose five years? Well, five
years is a very long time in business. I will tell you that very few businesses
would voluntarily agree to price caps for any period of time, let alone five
years. People have also asked us, "How can we be sure that you won't raise
passenger and cargo fares to unreasonable levels after that?" The answer is very
simple. We expect to have competition at some point in any event. But we know
that if we raise our passenger and cargo rates to unacceptable levels (and, for
that matter, if we provide bad service), other carriers will step in that much
sooner to provide service at lower rates. There are lots of airplanes available
today, there are no barriers such as a limited number of gates or takeoff or
landing slots to prevent another carrier from coming in to offer service. If we
are to be a successful airline, we will need to keep our customers - everyone in
the State of Hawaii - happy.

          This raises something else that people have been very concerned about:
our interisland routes and flight schedule. Let me assure everyone that we will
maintain all existing interisland routes. We will continue to serve all of the
island communities that depend on us now - including smaller airports like those
on Molokai and Lanai. And I state with confidence, only a carrier that is based
in Hawaii, that belongs to the community here, would make a commitment like
this. A mainland-based carrier almost certainly would selectively focus on
serving only the most popular destinations.

          We will, however, be consolidating our interisland flight schedules.
This will eliminate about 10% of the total number of our interisland flights.
Let me explain the reason for this. Aloha and Hawaiian today have flight
schedules that are very similar. This means that they often each have a plane
leaving the same airport within a few minutes of each other, going to the same
place, each with fewer than 30 passengers aboard. We will eliminate these types
of duplicated flights, so that all 60 passengers will fly on one airplane
instead of two, that will leave at roughly the same time that everyone is used
to. This means that we will have fewer empty seats, but not at the expense of
our passengers' convenience.

          We will also closely monitor the demand for our scheduled interisland
flights. Put simply, if the demand for a scheduled route grows to where an
average of 80% of all seats on that route are filled, we will add planes to
service that route.

          Turning to our overseas routes, as our airline becomes profitable, we
will begin to aggressively grow the airline into other West Coast and inland
cities. There is a good chance that we will be the only carrier to grow quickly
in the U.S. over the next five years. We believe that as we grow, everybody
wins. As we grow, we will be able to bring back our furloughed employees, hire
more people, bring more visitors to Hawaii. We will also help to find new
markets for the orchids from Hilo and the papayas from Kauai.

          To grow, we must have a financial plan. Our Financial Plan is called
"Fund the Future". We are working to make sure that our airline has plenty of
cash. This will allow us to buy or lease our airplanes at the lowest possible
cost.

          Our Financial Plan also calls for significant savings in aircraft
lease costs. Today Aloha and Hawaiian pay more than most carriers to lease
planes because their history of making money is poor and their prospects are
limited. Under the leadership of Greg Brenneman, we plan to change that. Greg,
as many of you know, is the formerly the president of Continent Airlines. During
the last 4 years that he was there, Continental purchased more airplanes from
Boeing than any other carrier. As a result, Greg and the team at Continental
developed a tremendous relationship with Boeing. Boeing has great faith in our
plan and in Greg, and is expected to make lease concessions as part of our
planned fleet restructuring program. This will allow us to save millions of
dollars annually on lease payments for the existing fleet. Boeing would only
make these lease concessions available to us as the combined carrier, and not to
Aloha or Hawaiian separately.

          Now it is no surprise that some of our airplanes are getting old. Our
Financial Plan also calls for a significant investment in new aircraft. Once the
merger transaction is completed, we will be ordering new Boeing aircraft to
replace our old airplanes and grow our fleet. This will allow us to grow into
new destinations. In fact, we plan to approximately double the number of long
range aircraft as well as trans-Pacific flights by the year 2005.

          Finally, because the merged company will not need two sets of
executive staff and related support staff, our Financial Plan calls for the
elimination of redundant administrative costs as a result of the merger.

          All of these initiatives will give us more liquidity - in other words,
essentially free up more cash. We will invest that liquidity in technology - not
only at the check-in counters (which I will talk about in a minute) but also
with expanded e-ticketing and direct marketing on the Internet to help us grow
the business.

          This brings us to our Product Plan. We call our Product Plan "Make
Reliability a Reality". We will do all of the things that airlines must do to be
successful. Quite simply, we will get customers to their destinations safely, on
time, and with their bags. We will provide our customers with a quality product
from food, to seats, to baggage handling, to magazines, to the appearance and
cleanliness of our airplanes. Hawaii is known for a special kind of service.
Aloha and Hawaiian's employees already provide it. We will continue to do so
tomorrow.

          Both airlines have been very successful at delivering great,
award-winning service. However, the on-time performance of all airlines has
deteriorated significantly as a result of the new security measures. We will
address this with staffing, schedule changes and technology. The new security
requirements have also resulted in longer customer lines at the check-in desk.
We will fix this problem as well. With improved technology, we will help our
ticket agents get passengers their boarding passes and luggage tags more quickly
and efficiently, so that our customers won't have to wait so long in line. By
using technology effectively, we believe we can cut the time our passengers
stand in line by 60 to 70 percent.

          Finally - and most importantly - we would not be able to do any of
this without the people of our airline. Our People Plan is called "Working
Together". Working together means we need to treat each other with dignity and
respect. There are challenges inherent in merging two groups of employees who
have a lot of history and a lot of pride in their respective companies. But
Working Together means that we bring everyone together, to be a part of one
team.

          Working Together also means having a leader who treats everyone
fairly, and who will provide open, honest, and direct communication. That leader
is Greg Brenneman. Since the merger announcement, Greg has focused on meeting
and getting to know the employees of Aloha and Hawaiian airlines. So far he's
met more than 3,500 of the companies' 6,100 employees on the Big Island, Maui,
Kauai, as well as here on Oahu. He is also leaving weekly voicemails for
employees to update everyone on the progress of pulling the companies together.

          Greg appreciates the fair, open-minded evaluation of our proposals
that union leadership has shown, as well as the union leaders' commitment to
doing the best possible job on behalf of their members. In the month since the
merger announcement, we've learned that the majority of our employees are
committed to bringing the two carriers together, to minimize the challenges we
together will face, and to get on to greater things.

          Working Together means treating everyone fairly as we integrate the
two airlines. We know that this subject has caused a lot of anxiety among our
employees. It is true that we will have to furlough or lay-off certain employees
to pave the way for the new carrier's future growth. The sooner the airline can
grow, the sooner we can bring the employees back. We promise to do our best to
do that as soon as we possibly can.

          In the meantime, we promise that every employee, and especially those
who are furloughed or laid-off, will be treated with dignity and respect. This
means that we are working very hard to avoid furloughs. We have made a "no
furlough" offer to more than 70% of the unionized work force, including the
flight attendants, gate, ramp, reservations, and contract services agents.

          We have been asked why we have not made no-furlough offers to the
remaining 30% of the unionized employees. These employee union groups consist of
the pilots, dispatchers, mechanics, and corporate IAM. We anticipate that some
reductions in employment will be required in these areas, but we will not be
able to make any offer until our fleet plan and schedules have been determined.
We will make a fair offer to these employees as soon as we complete our planning
in the coming weeks.

          The last group of employees consist of the two companies' executive
staff and related support staff. Because the merged company will not need two
sets of executives and related positions, certain positions will be eliminated.
However, we will not be able to make determinations about specific positions
until the merger is complete. We will treat every employee fairly and honestly.

          We will do what we can to minimize the impact on all employees that
are furloughed or laid-off. For unionized employees, we will honor all
requirements specified in their collective bargaining agreements. Where we can,
we will use early retirement offers and other incentives to lessen the impact.

          I will say again, that we want very much to bring our furloughed
employees back as quickly as we can. To do this, we will need to grow as quickly
as possible. Our employees, and all of you, have our commitment to do this as
quickly as we can.

          In the meantime, we will also take care of our family of employees. We
will establish a fund for employees in need, to be managed by a committee
comprised of line employees. At Greg Brenneman's request, the Company will make
a contribution of $250,000 to the fund upon the closing of the merger.

          Moving forward, our new livery and uniforms will reflect the
traditions and strengths of both airlines and will have a look and feel that we
hope will make all Hawaii proud. The Company will also adopt employee incentives
so that they see a direct benefit from providing great service and a great
product.

          For all of these reasons, we are confident that working together, we
will have a terrific future as a successful company, with good people in good
jobs, providing a great experience for our passengers with the reliable service
they would expect and deserve from Hawaii's flagship carrier.

          We thank you again for this opportunity to share our thoughts with you
and with all of the people of Hawaii.

Statement of John N. Feren, Boeing Commercial Airplanes, Regarding the Planned
Merger of Aloha AirGroup and Hawaiian Airlines for January 22, 2002
Informational Briefing before the Senate, State of Hawaii, Committees on
Transportation, Military Affairs, and Government Operations; on Commerce,
Consumer Protection, and Housing; and on Tourism and Intergovernmental Affairs.

To the Hon. Chair Kawamoto, Chair Menor, Chair Kim, and Vice-Chairs and Members
of the Committees on Transportation, Military Affairs, and Government
Operations; on Commerce, Consumer Protection, and Housing; and on Tourism and
Intergovernmental Affairs:


I am John N. Feren, Senior Vice President of Sales for Boeing Commercial
Airplanes, a division of The Boeing Company. I have responsibility for the
geographic region designated The Americas, which includes Hawaii and its
commercial air carriers. I have been advised of the pending merger of Aloha and
Hawaiian Airlines, and have been requested to furnish comments to the
Committees. Both airlines are longstanding customers of Boeing Commercial
Airplanes, and we are pleased to have supported them as they have built up the
inter island air travel system. Since September 11, our industry has experienced
unparalleled economic hardship, and even before the tragic events of last
September, the commercial air transportation industry was struggling under the
economics of overcapacity in a slowing global economy.

Based on the information furnished by the parties and my overall knowledge of
the current state of the commercial aviation industry, it appears to me that the
proposed merger is likely to be beneficial not only to the state of Hawaii but
to suppliers such as Boeing and to the travelling public. A financially sound
airline, with appropriate capacity and strong leadership, will be well
positioned to survive the current downturn and to thrive when conditions
improve. Our experience is also that a healthy, well-funded airline can most
readily grow in response to demand and provide superior, reliable customer
service, as well as promote and respond to economic growth in the communities it
serves.

We look forward to a continued, mutually beneficial business relationship with
the combined Aloha and Hawaiian Airlines, and to supporting renewed air travel
growth to and within the state of Hawaii.


Sincerely,


/s/ John N. Feren

                            ALOHA, HAWAIIAN TO MERGE

         Airline Industry Leader Greg Brenneman to Head Combined Company

HONOLULU - In a move designed to ensure the continued viability of Hawaii's
interisland air service in a changing marketplace, Aloha Airgroup, Inc. and
Hawaiian Airlines, Inc. (AMEX/PCX "HA") today agreed to merge Hawaii's two air
carriers under a new holding company, Aloha Holdings, Inc.

The new company will be headed by Greg Brenneman, the former president and chief
operating officer of Continental Airlines, who for six years helped lead that
carrier's spectacular turnaround. Brenneman will serve as chairman and chief
executive officer of Aloha Holdings, Inc., which will be a public company traded
as Hawaiian Airlines under the ticker symbol HA on the American Stock Exchange
(AMEX) and the Pacific Stock Exchange (PCX).

The combined carrier is committing to hold unrestricted interisland fares for
two years, and for an additional three years to link increases in those fares to
inflation and other adjustments that affect all airlines, such as increased
insurance and security rates due to September 11. Beyond this, the carrier will
work with the State Attorney General to ensure fair prices for all consumers,
including those who currently can arrange their travel at lower fares.

Both Aloha and Hawaiian have been adversely impacted by the global economic
slowdown and the dramatic reduction in Hawaii visitors since the tragic events
of September 11. These and other financial factors, such as the continuing trend
toward more direct flights from the mainland U.S. to Hawaii's Neighbor Islands,
have made it uneconomical to maintain dual interisland operations.

"This merger is the best thing these two great airlines could do for the people
and economy of Hawaii," said Brenneman. "This state is dependent, like no other
place in our country, on frequent, affordable, reliable local air service. The
merger will create a flagship carrier for Hawaii that will not only allow the
continuation of interisland service that Hawaii depends on, but will also
provide the financial muscle and staying power needed to allow us to bring more
visitors to Hawaii by growing in new markets, on the Mainland and in the
Pacific.

Since leaving Continental in May 2001, Brenneman has served as chairman and CEO
of TurnWorks, Inc., a Texas-based company he founded in 1994, shortly before
moving to Continental. TurnWorks invests in and works with firms needing
executive turnaround leadership, management expertise and financial
re-engineering. During Brenneman's six years as Continental's president and
chief operating officer, he worked with management and employees as they
developed and implemented a plan which resulted in a dramatic turnaround.
Continental moved to the top of the industry in most major airline performance
indicators, resulting in a dramatic improvement in shareholder value, reversing
16 years of losses. The company was recognized for outstanding service,
including winning the J.D. Power, Frequent Flyer Magazine Award five out of six
years for the best customer service of any U.S. air carrier. Continental climbed
as high as Number 18 in Fortune (magazine's) "100 Best Places to Work in
America" before Brenneman's departure.

"I look forward to working closely with all the employees of the new airline as
we focus on the basics of providing a great product delivered by people who like
coming to work," said Brenneman.

The merger is expected to strengthen the company by generating savings of
approximately $90 million from the consolidation of operations, elimination of
excess aircraft and the coordination of flight schedules, ticket distribution
and other functions. The company hopes to minimize the number of employees
displaced as a result of the merger and, once profitability is reached, quickly
grow so that everyone can come back to work. Brenneman plans to closely involve
the unions and employees in making the integration of the two companies a
success.

The new airline is expected to have annual revenues of approximately $1 billion,
ranking it 10th largest among U.S. carriers, with solid prospects for growth.

The combined company will continue to operate the interisland, Mainland, and
Pacific routes currently served by Aloha and Hawaiian, including the operations
of Aloha's sister carrier, Island Air, linking Hawaii's primary and secondary
airports. The new company also will continue to provide dedicated interisland
freight/cargo service.

Aloha and Hawaiian's airline alliance partners will be able to keep their
current contracts until they expire. Brenneman said the aim is to work with
these partners to develop new agreements as well as to work closely with any
airline that wishes to connect its passengers between the Islands.

Under terms of the merger agreement, current Hawaiian Airlines' shareholders
will receive approximately 52 percent of the combined company and a six-year,
8-percent note with a face value of $2 per share. Of the 52 percent, Airline
Investors Partnership (AIP), Hawaiian's current majority owner, will receive
approximately 28 percent and Hawaiian's public shareholders will receive
approximately 24 percent. Aloha Airgroup shareholders will receive approximately
28 percent of the combined company, and TurnWorks will receive approximately 20
percent. Additional details regarding the transaction are described in the Annex
attached hereto.

An 11-member board of directors will govern Aloha Holdings, Inc. Three members
will represent major employee labor units. In addition to Chairman and CEO
Brenneman, Han "Sonny" Ching will serve as vice chairman. Ching has been
chairman of the board of Aloha Airgroup since 1993.

Ching said, "We see this new venture as the evolution of what Aloha began more
than 55 years ago--an airline especially dedicated to the people of Hawaii. We
are fortunate to have a highly respected airline executive like Greg Brenneman
to help us carry on this tradition."

John Adams, chairman of the board of Hawaiian Airlines, said, "Combining these
two companies is something that makes sense now. The events of September 11, the
distressed economic climate, and the interest expressed by TurnWorks were the
catalysts for taking this step. The merger will create both immediate and
long-term benefits for the flying public, Hawaii residents, and the Hawaii
economy, as well as for our shareholders."

The closing is subject to certain federal and state antitrust and other
regulatory approvals, which are expected to be obtained in the first half of
2002. Aloha Airgroup's President and CEO Glenn Zander and Hawaiian Airlines'
Vice Chairman and CEO Paul Casey plan to retire from their companies when the
transaction closes.

Zander said: "The completion of this merger will fulfill my mission at Aloha,
which is to provide a financially stable air carrier that serves the needs of
Hawaii and has the strength to expand into new markets. Stability, strength and
growth will enable Hawaii's airline to bring increased economic benefits to the
state for many years to come."

Aloha Airlines was founded in 1946 as Trans-Pacific Airlines and is today the
largest provider of interisland air transportation services in Hawaii, including
passenger, air cargo and contract services. In addition, Aloha offers daily
trans-Pacific scheduled air service between Hawaii and Oakland and Orange County
in California, as well as Las Vegas, Nevada. Aloha's sister carrier, Island Air,
operates scheduled air service to Hawaii's smaller airports.

Founded in 1929 as Inter-Island Airways, Hawaiian Airlines is the first and
largest Hawaii-based airline. From Honolulu, Hawaiian provides scheduled and
charter air transportation of passengers, cargo and mail among the islands of
Hawaii and between Hawaii and seven Western U.S. gateway cities and two
destinations in the South Pacific. The nation's 12th-largest carrier, it is also
the second-largest provider of trans-Pacific air service between the U.S.
mainland and Hawaii.

TurnWorks, Inc., a Texas-based private equity investment firm founded in 1994,
focuses on corporate turnarounds and provides services such as management
expertise, financial re-engineering, executive search and growth capital.

Mercer Management Consulting provided strategic consulting services in support
of the merger.

Additional information on Aloha Airgroup and Hawaiian Airlines is available at
www.alohaairlines.com and www.hawaiianair.com. In addition, an investors'
presentation is available at www.hawaiianair.com. Updated information on the
merger will be posted on both sites as it becomes available.

                        MERGED AIRLINE PROPOSES FARE CAPS

      Planned Fare Structure Would Offer Low Interisland Fares for Kamaaina

HONOLULU - Addressing issues raised by the traveling public about the planned
merger between Aloha and Hawaiian airlines, officials of TurnWorks, Inc., the
company that is overseeing the merger, presented key elements of its proposed
fare structure and service commitment to the State Attorney General's office
this morning.

According to Aloha and Hawaiian airlines, approximately 30 percent of the
interisland airline passengers are residents of Hawaii. Under the TurnWorks
proposal, these passengers will be able to access seats at low one-way
interisland rates. The merged airline would guarantee, for kamaaina, 10 percent
of its one-way interisland seats at $55 or less and an additional 20 percent of
its seats at $60 or less. Annual increases on these rates will be limited to the
Consumer Price Index (CPI) and these fares will be guaranteed for the five years
following the effective date of the merger.

In addition, the maximum one-way interisland coach fare for residents and
visitors will be capped at rates which are less than low-cost airlines, such as
Southwest Airlines, are charging for similar mature routes on the Mainland.
These fares also are well below the highest fares currently in effect for both
airlines. The maximum interisland fare will not exceed $78 for the first two
years following the merger, with increases no greater than the CPI for the
following three years.

All coupons sold before the date of the merger would be honored, and the airline
plans to continue flying to all the interisland markets currently served by
Aloha, Aloha Island Air, and Hawaiian Airlines.

"Unlike the gas stations and grocery stores in Hawaii, fares on our new airline
will be cheaper than you would find on similar routes on the Mainland," said
Greg Brenneman, chairman and chief executive officer of TurnWorks, Inc. "Hawaii
residents will find special deals well below $55 when traveling interisland,
especially during off-peak hours."

Also under the new plan, all existing cargo contracts would be honored, with
increases in contracts, if any, limited to changes in the CPI for five years.

Frequent flyer members of the two airlines would not lose any mileage credits,
and travelers who belong to both frequent flyer programs will benefit by the
combination of their mileage credits into a single account.

Future plans also call for the addition of new technology such as e-ticket
machines and Internet sites that will facilitate check-in procedures, reduce the
need for hand security searches, and increase consumer convenience when
purchasing tickets.

A summary of the proposal is attached.

                               Settlement Proposal

Aloha Holdings Inc. is proposing to the State of Hawaii that it will preserve a
strong Hawaii-based flagship air carrier. The agreement will support continued
growth in tourism. It will also ensure no negative impact on state residents and
business operators who rely on air transportation throughout the state.

Fares/Cargo Rates:

1. Special coach fares will be made available to Hawaii residents and
   businesses.
       - A minimum of 10% of the available seats will be made available
         at $55 or less one way and an additional 20% of the available
         seats will be made available at $60 or less one way. These
         base fares will be available for five years and will increase
         at the rate of the Consumer Price Index annually.

2. Maximum one-way fare will not increase above the published fare level
   of $78 one way for two years following the effective date of the merger
   and will increase at a rate equal to the Consumer Price Index for three
   years thereafter.

3. All existing cargo contracts will be honored. Increases in contracts,
   if any, would be limited to the Consumer Price Index for five years.

Service Level:

1. Interisland airports currently served by Aloha and Hawaiian airlines
   will continue to be served.

2. Flights will be added as needed so that the average annual load factor
   percent of seats filled) does not exceed 80%.

3. New technology (e-ticket machines, Internet sites) will be added to reduce
   check-in time and the need for hand searches, and increase consumer
   convenience in purchasing tickets.

4. Frequent flyer programs will be consolidated, and customers will keep
   all of their combined miles and we will seek to maintain strategic
   alliances in order to honor all frequent flyer program commitments.


Other Conditions:

1. All coupons sold before the date the merger closes will be honored
   subject to the restrictions currently on the coupon.

2. All fares and cargo commitments will be subject to the addition of
   certain surcharges, applicable taxes and increases in costs imposed by
   federal or state agencies such as security costs, passenger facility
   charges (PFCs), and large increases in uncontrollable costs such as
   insurance or fuel.

3. The agreement will expire if the agreed-upon level of new entry is achieved.

       Merged Airline Offers Furlough Protection to Majority of Employees


HONOLULU - TurnWorks Inc., the firm coordinating the merger of Aloha and
Hawaiian airlines, today made an offer that avoids furloughs for work groups
that represent approximately 3,600 employees, or more than 70 percent of all
active represented employees of the combined carriers.

An offer was presented to the Association of Flight Attendants (AFA) that would
provide them with protection from furloughs resulting from the merger. In order
for the furlough protection to become effective, the flight attendants will need
to combine seniority lists and agree to accept, with minor modifications, the
recently negotiated 42-month contract of Hawaiian Airlines' AFA by the date the
merger closes. There are many similarities between the new Hawaiian AFA
agreement and the current Aloha AFA agreement, including pay rates.

A similar offer was made today to the International Association of Machinists
(IAM), applicable to employees in the following work groups: Customer Service
Agents, Terminal and Ramp Agents, Cargo Handlers, Reservation Agents and
Contract Services. The offer requires the combination of seniority lists and
acceptance, with minor modifications, of the recently negotiated 42-month
contract of the Hawaiian IAM by the date the merger closes. The pay rates and
other terms in the new Hawaiian IAM agreement are very similar to the pay rates
in the current Aloha IAM agreement.

Randolph Kauhane, IAM assistant general chairman, said, "I truly believe the
company is committed to minimizing furloughs. The IAM looks forward to further
discussions for the other work groups the IAM represents."

"We are committed to treating the professional men and women of the airlines
fairly in the merger process," said Greg Brenneman, chairman and CEO of
TurnWorks, Inc. "The cost savings generated from quick resolution of seniority
and contract issues are being passed on to these employees in the form of
furlough protection. I have enjoyed meeting the employees of Aloha and Hawaiian
and I am committed to working with them to make the merged carrier a great place
to work."

Working closely with each airline's management, TurnWorks is currently
developing a new flight schedule and determining the new airline's fleet
requirements. This will allow it to determine the staffing and training needs
for the other work groups. Employee representatives also are exploring options
such as early retirement, job sharing and voluntary leaves to further reduce the
need for furloughs.

Representatives of each airline's management and TurnWorks will work through the
elected representatives of the employees to reach agreement on all contract
issues. The furlough protection does not apply to the employees already
furloughed as a result of the events of September 11. However, Brenneman said,
once the merger is completed, the merged carrier plans to grow and create jobs
so that everyone can come back to work.

"We will make offers to limit the number of furloughs as quickly as we can to
reduce the uncertainty for employees," Brenneman said. "We do not yet have
enough information on the schedule or the fleet to determine the staffing needs
of the other work groups, but we will provide these answers to the other
employees as soon as we can. Furloughs and layoffs cannot be avoided entirely,
but we hope to be able to minimize the number of affected employees."
