The original name of Aloha Airlines was
Trans-Pacific Airways (TPA), and it was founded
by Honolulu Publisher Ruddy Tongg in 1946.
For many years, the nickname of TPA was
"the Aloha Airlines", and in 1958 the company
officially changed their name to Aloha Airlines.
In 2000 Aloha Airlines started adding transpacific
flights, and the earliest of those flights connected
Hawaii with Oakland and Orange County in California
and Las Vegas, Nevada.
In 2001 there some preliminary plans were made
for Aloha Airlines to merge with Hawaiian Airlines,
but those plans fell through. Because of rising
fuel costs and other expenses, Aloha airlines filed for bankruptcy
protection in December of 2004. They emerged
from bankruptcy reorganization in February of 2006 under the
ownership of California billionaire Ron Burkle's
Yucaipa Companies.
