Transportation Acquisitions in Hawaii

Alaska Air Group, Inc. completed its acquisition of Hawaiian Holdings, Inc., combining Alaska Airlines and Hawaiian Airlines to create a larger carrier with expanded domestic and international networks. The deal preserves both brands initially, aims to integrate operations over time (including a single FAA operating certificate), and is intended to deliver network growth, customer benefits and significant synergies.

In February 2022 Trinity Investors partnered with RLG Capital to recapitalize Kamaka Air, a Honolulu-based inter-island air cargo and charter operator. Kamaka operates a fleet of Cessna 208Bs and Cessna 408 Sky Couriers, serves major parcel carriers including FedEx and UPS, and holds dominant market share on routes to/from Molokai and Lanai.
