About Ohana by Hawaiian

Hawaiian Airlines announced in 2014 that they would launch a regional subsidiary, Ohana by Hawaiian, to operate their regional services. This airline operated with regional jet ATR42 turboprop. Services were operated by Empire Airlines, who would fly with the Ohana by Hawaiian livery.
