History of Island Air
Island Air was founded in 1980 as Princeville Airways.
In 1987 it was purchased by the parent company of Aloha Airlines,
and renamed Aloha Island Air. In 1992 they changed their name to
Island Air. In 2004 the company was sold by the Aloha
Airgroup to Gavarnie Holding, making Island Air Hawaii's
third independent airline.
Island Air's New Aircraft Tail Art
In 2006 Island Air announced their plans
to repaint the tails of all of their aircraft
using one of these themes: (1) Island Rhythm,
featuring a ukulele, (2) Island Beauty,
featuring a hula dancer, and (3) Island Style,
featuring a surfboard. The first plane was repainted in April of 2006,
using the ukulele theme, and Island Air's remaining 11
planes will be repainted over the next two years.

Island Air Can Do Well With Lower Costs
Island Air is trying to establish itself as an independent
operation with a strong brand name at a time when
the competition in the interisland airline market is
heating up. The company is still perceived as being part
of Aloha Airlines, and they are trying to
change that. Their fleet includes 11 turboprop planes (37 passengers each)
and a luxury charter jet that can travel worldwide.
