Aloha Air Cargo to add freighter routing

The carrier will unveil a freighter service betwen LAX and Honolulu Oct. 23.    Aloha Air Cargo will add non-stop Boeing 767-300 freighter service between Los Angeles and Honolulu on Oct. 23.
   The service will be offered five times per week.
   “As all-cargo specialists, Aloha recognizes that our customers have been interested in additional lift options since passenger carriers have increasingly shifted from widebody to smaller, less cargo conscious, narrowbody airframes over the last few years,” Aloha’s Chief Operating Officer said. “Not only is this lane expansion a momentous step towards growth for Aloha, but we anticipate the lane will stimulate the market, spurring other carriers to explore repurposed shipping routes through LAX and thereby reducing cargo transit times for customers globally — not only for Hawaii-bound freight, but those moving onward to South Pacific and Asian destinations.”
