Aloha Airlines, which just last week declared that it was going to have to file bankruptcy for the second time in three years has announced its ceasing operations effective pretty much immediately. When I first heard news of this last week I thought this was going to be in it for Aloha because there was no way, and in such a short period of time, they were going to be able to convince a judge and creditors that they were going to be able to perform and come out of bankruptcy yet again. I also wondered how they would ever find a buyer would be willing to step up to the plate and take over this fudging airline. I kept on seeing the news reports and all of the Aloha that poured out , all of the many workers and families that ralied in the end none of that none of that could save this historic inter-Island carrier from demise.
The sudden departure of the airlines is sending shockwaves through Hawaii’s communities. The first news started to break around 1:30 p.m. Hawaii time. Neither one of the daily papers in Hawaii had the story so there was not even a leak . Senator Daniel Inouye gave a very predictable comment commending Aloha Airline officials and sending his heart out to all of the Aloha employees. Gov. Lindla Lingle wants to try get a court not to allow the shutdown of Aloha Airlines’ interisland and transpacific flight operations until Aloha has shown it has exhausted all possible avenues for continuing its operations. The problem with Governor Lingle’s plan is that she has to go to a federal court to make this happen and it’s unlikely that a federal judge is going in her favor.

Today the island of Molokai is in the news as a result of the closing of the Molokai Ranch which is one of the most popular hotel resorts on the island. The sudden closing of the property comes after years of battling over development plans that the owners of the Molokai Ranch have had to develop a part of the island called La’Au. We discuss the reasons for this closing and also go over options for those of you who were planning on coming to Molokai and may be having second thoughts since the Molokai Ranch is now closed.

Located on Oahu, Manoa is a residential valley neighborhood. It is approximately three miles inland from downtown Honolulu, close to Waikiki and Ala Moana. While it is not on the list for most tourists, it is a worthwhile spot to check out offering a look into one of Oahu’s older communities.
