“2016 was a great year for us,” said Mark Dunkerley, Hawaiian Airlines president and CEO. “The business environment has been characterized by strong demand, balanced industry capacity in our markets and manageable fuel prices.
Our hard working team has done a good job ensuring that the investments we made in our business at the beginning of this decade continue to deliver the returns we anticipated from them," Dunkerley said. "Our business is stronger and we are growing value for our shareholders, giving us great confidence for 2017 and beyond.”
