"We are extremely pleased to resolve all claims put
forward in this litigation and look forward to re-branding service
under the Aloha name in the near future. This settlement resolves
all claims by Aloha Airlines related to Mesa's entry into the
Hawaiian inter-island market and permits us to focus solely on our
core competency of providing the best service, convenient schedules
and low fare pricing to our customers. We intend to carry on
Aloha's proud tradition, maintain Mesa's status as Hawaii's low
cost air carrier and look forward to future growth opportunities
made possible by this settlement."
