‘Ohana concluye operaciones en las Islas de Hawaii
Hawaiian Airlines ha comunicado que pondrá finalización a los servicios de la aerolínea regional ‘Ohana que está suprimiendo sus servicios de carga en Neighbor Island y vuelos a Molokai, Lanai y Kapalua en West Maui. Jon Snook, Director de Operaciones de Hawaiian, dijo que una caída relacionada con la pandemia en la demanda de viajes ya había hecho que suspendiera temporalmente el servicio con aviones ATR 72 en Noviembre de 2020 y que el servicio de pasajeros con aviones ATR 42 se detuvo el 14 de Enero 2021. El servicio entre Honolulu y Kapalua fue suspendido en Marzo de 2020. Los cambios que se vuelven permanentes en el presente en las islas hawaianas. Mokulele Airlines continuará como la única aerolínea que vuela tanto a Molokai como a Lanai. Jon Snook dijo que la pandemia fue el clavo final en el ataúd para ‘Ohana para Hawaiian, que ha luchado por mantener los factores de carga y los precios sincronizados desde sus inicios.
Los vuelos de ‘Ohana con aviones turbohélice ATR 42 fueron lanzados en la primavera de 2014, seguidos por el servicio de carga con aviones ATR 72F en el verano de 2018. “Este ha sido un negocio que ha sido una tensión financiera para nosotros durante mucho tiempo. Nunca ha sido consistentemente rentable. Probablemente es un resultado que habría ocurrido de todos modos. Las circunstancias actuales en torno a la pandemia precipitaron un análisis anterior del plan a largo plazo para este servicio”, dijo Snook.
Peter Ingram, Presidente y Director Ejecutivo de Hawaiian Airlines, dijo en un comunicado que la decisión de no restablecer el servicio se sopesó seriamente. “Esta es una decisión desgarradora, particularmente para aquellos de nosotros que participamos en el lanzamiento del negocio en 2014. Echamos un vistazo al servicio y no pudimos identificar una manera de reiniciar y operar de forma sostenible”, dijo Peter Ingram. Jon Snook dijo que la cuarentena de Neighbor Island mató la demanda en un momento en que ‘Ohana by Hawaiian ya estaba luchando para competir contra un portaaviones que volaba aviones más pequeños a un costo menor: “Nuestros aviones son mucho más grandes y mucho más caros de operar, por lo que no pudimos generar suficiente volumen a esos precios para tener éxito. Mató la demanda. Nos acabó la capacidad de operar el vuelo y una vez que has aterrizado una flota así durante un año el costo de reiniciar de nuevo es sustancial”, dijo el Director de Operaciones. Hawaiian vigilará el mercado, y espera que la cuarentena de Neighbor Island eventualmente sea levantada. La aerolínea expresó que le encantaría estar de vuelta en el mercado, pero en este momento, con los aviones a su disposición, actualmente no ve una línea de visión para el regreso.
‘Ohana by Hawaiian fue operada por Empire Airlines, con sede en Idaho, como una aerolínea de alimentación de terceros. En su apogeo, Empire empleó a 82 pilotos, azafatas y personal de mantenimiento en Hawáii, así como a 15 en su base en Idaho. El contratista World Flight Services empleó a un personal de 28 personas para proporcionar servicios de manejo en tierra. Los empleados hawaianos, que fueron asignados a ‘Ohana por operaciones hawaianas, evitaron los furloughs anteriores debido a la ayuda federal. Jon Snook dijo que ahora Hawaiian les dará la oportunidad de ser reasignados a diferentes áreas de la compañía.
Hawaiian ha tenido un retiro de la compañía de la mayoría de los empleados despedidos y actualmente emplea a 6.850 personas, en su mayoría en Hawaii. La aerolínea anunció el Lunes 24/05 que esperaba llenar más de 400 puestos antes de la ajetreada temporada de verano. Las posiciones están disponibles en las operaciones aeroportuarias, que incluyen principalmente trabajos a tiempo parcial como agentes de servicio de invitados, agentes de rampa, gerentes de operaciones y mecánicos de aeronaves en Honolulu, Maui, Hilo, Kona, Lihue y en ciudades selectas en la costa oeste de estados Unidos. La oficina corporativa de la compañía en Honolulu está buscando empleados a tiempo completo para TI, marketing, recursos humanos y ventas. La necesidad de Hawai es más aguda para llenar puestos de trabajo en Maui, que se ha recuperado más rápido que el resto del estado. La aerolínea está ofreciendo un bono de inicio de sesión de $2,000 para atraer a solicitantes experimentados para la mayoría de los trabajos de Maui. La demanda de viajes está regresando. El hawaiano experimentó un repunte en el primer trimestre, y el martes presentó un 8K proyectando que sus perspectivas de ingresos para el segundo trimestre de 2021 ahora se harían entre el 42% y el 46% en comparación con el segundo trimestre de 2019.
Eso es una mejora de la estimación anterior de Hawaiian de que se reduciría entre un 45 y 50%. Hawaiian dijo que no se ha recuperado lo suficiente de los mínimos pandémicos para evitar desencadenar una disposición en el contrato piloto de la aerolínea que restringe a la aerolínea proporcionar ‘Ohana por el servicio hawaiano. La disposición del contrato impide que el hawaiano ofrezca vuelos ‘Ohana by Hawaiian, que son operados con aviones turbohélice por Empire Airlines como una aerolínea de alimentación de terceros, cuando los vuelos interislandes Boeing 717 y Airbus A321NEO operados por pilotos hawaianos se reducen severamente.
Hawaiian dijo que ha comenzado a trasladar su flota ATR Aircraft al continente para su almacenamiento y eventual venta. Hawaiian dijo que ha prestado parte de su equipo de apoyo terrestre a Mokulele Airlines, que está prestando servicio entre Honolulu y Molokai y Lanai. “Agradecemos a las comunidades de Molokai y Lanai por su apoyo a ‘Ohana by Hawaiian. Continuaremos explorando oportunidades para volver y reconectar las islas como aerolínea de Hawáii”, dijo Peter Ingram.
A principios de este mes de Mayo 2021, Southern Airways, la compañía matriz de Mokulele Airline, anunció que planea traer aviones Beechcraft 1900 para ofrecer servicio de clase cabina de lunes a viernes para los viajeros a Molokai y Lanai. Los aviones más grandes son capaces de transportar hasta 19 pasajeros. Los planes de servicio iniciales requieren dos viajes de ida y vuelta a Honolulu desde Molokai y Lanai la mayoría de los días de la semana. Se espera que los boletos salgan a la venta este verano, a la espera de la aprobación del Departamento de Transporte y la Administración Federal de Aviación. “Este es un siguiente paso lógico para nuestra aerolínea a medida que continuamos recuperándonos de la pandemia de COVID y continuamos mostrando nuestro compromiso con la gente de Hawai. Será un día de orgullo en los 27 años de historia de Mokulele cuando este avión tenga su vuelo inaugural este otoño”, dijo Stan Little, Presidente y CEO de Southern Airways y Mokulele, dijo en un comunicado.
Hawaiian Airlines ends’ Ohana
‘Ohana concludes operations in the Hawaiian Islands
Hawaiian Airlines has announced that it will terminate the services of the regional airline ‘Ohana which is eliminating its cargo services on Neighbor Island and flights to Molokai, Lanai and Kapalua in West Maui. Jon Snook, Hawaiian Chief Operating Officer, said a pandemic-related drop in travel demand had already caused him to temporarily suspend service with ATR 72 aircraft in November 2020 and that passenger service with ATR 42 aircraft was halted. on January 14, 2021. Service between Honolulu and Kapalua was suspended in March 2020. Changes are now permanent in the Hawaiian Islands. Mokulele Airlines will continue as the only airline to fly to both Molokai and Lanai. Jon Snook said the pandemic was the final nail in the coffin for ‘Ohana for Hawaiian, which has struggled to keep loading factors and prices in sync since its inception.
The ‘Ohana flights with ATR 42 turboprop aircraft were launched in the spring of 2014, followed by the cargo service with ATR 72F aircraft in the summer of 2018. “This has been a business that has been a financial strain for us for a long time. It has never been consistently profitable. It is probably an outcome that would have occurred anyway. The current circumstances surrounding the pandemic precipitated an earlier analysis of the long-term plan for this service”, Snook said.
Peter Ingram, President and CEO of Hawaiian Airlines, said in a statement that the decision not to restore service was seriously weighed. “This is a heartbreaking decision, particularly for those of us who were involved in launching the business in 2014. We took a look at the service and could not identify a way to restart and operate sustainably,” said Peter Ingram. Jon Snook said the Neighbor Island quarantine killed demand at a time when ‘Ohana by Hawaiian was already struggling to compete against an aircraft carrier that flew smaller planes at a lower cost: “Our planes are so much bigger and so much more expensive. to operate, so we could not generate enough volume at those prices to be successful. It killed the demand. We finished the ability to operate the flight and once you have landed such a fleet for a year the cost of restarting again is substantial”, said the Director of Operations. Hawaiian will keep an eye on the market, and hopes that the Neighbor Island quarantine will eventually be lifted. The airline expressed that it would love to be back on the market, but right now, with the planes at its disposal, it does not currently see a line of sight for the return.
‘Ohana by Hawaiian was operated by Idaho-based Empire Airlines as a third-party feed carrier. At its peak, Empire employed 82 pilots, flight attendants and maintenance personnel in Hawaii, as well as 15 at its base in Idaho. Contractor World Flight Services employed a staff of 28 to provide ground handling services. The Hawaiian employees, who were assigned to ‘Ohana by Hawaiian operations, avoided the previous furloughs due to federal aid. Jon Snook said that now Hawaiian will give them the opportunity to be reassigned to different areas of the company.
Hawaiian has already had a retirement from the company of most of its laid-off employees and currently employs 6,850 people, mostly in Hawaii. The airline announced on Monday 05/24 that it expected to fill more than 400 seats before the busy summer season. Positions are available in airport operations, which primarily include part-time jobs as guest service agents, ramp agents, operations managers, and aircraft mechanics in Honolulu, Maui, Hilo, Kona, Lihue, and in select cities in the West coast of the United States. The company’s corporate office in Honolulu is seeking full-time employees for IT, marketing, human resources, and sales. Hawaii’s need is most acute to fill jobs in Maui, which has recovered faster than the rest of the state. The airline is offering a $ 2,000 sign-up bonus to attract experienced applicants for most Maui jobs. The demand for travel is returning. The Hawaiian saw a rebound in the first quarter, and on Tuesday presented an 8K projecting that its revenue outlook for the second quarter of 2021 would now be between 42% and 46% compared to the second quarter of 2019.
That’s an improvement from Hawaiian’s previous estimate that it would drop 45-50%. Hawaiian said it has not recovered enough from pandemic lows to avoid triggering a provision in the airline’s pilot contract that restricts the airline from providing ‘Ohana for Hawaiian service. The contract provision prevents the Hawaiian from offering ‘Ohana by Hawaiian flights, which are operated with turboprop aircraft by Empire Airlines as a third-party power carrier, when interisland Boeing 717 and Airbus A321NEO flights operated by Hawaiian pilots are severely reduced.
Hawaiian said it has begun moving its ATR Aircraft fleet to the mainland for storage and eventual sale. Hawaiian said it has lent some of its ground support team to Mokulele Airlines, which is serving between Honolulu and Molokai and Lanai. “We thank the Molokai and Lanai communities for their support of ‘Ohana by Hawaiian. We will continue to explore opportunities to return and reconnect the islands as a Hawaiian airline”, said Peter Ingram.
Earlier this May 2021, Southern Airways, the parent company of Mokulele Airline, announced that it plans to bring Beechcraft 1900 aircraft to offer cabin-class service Monday through Friday for travelers to Molokai and Lanai. The largest planes are capable of carrying up to 19 passengers. Initial service plans call for two round trips to Honolulu from Molokai and Lanai most days of the week. Tickets are expected to go on sale this summer, pending approval from the Department of Transportation and the Federal Aviation Administration. “This is a logical next step for our airline as we continue to recover from the COVID pandemic and continue to show our commitment to the people of Hawaii. It will be a day of pride in Mokulele’s 27-year history when this aircraft takes its flight. inaugural this fall”, said Stan Little, President and CEO of Southern Airways and Mokulele, said in a statement.
