Hawaiian Airlines Tightens Its Grip on Interisland Flights

Ever since Aloha Airlines folded back in early 2008, Hawaiian Holdings (NASDAQ: HA) has dominated Hawaii's interisland travel market. There have been ebbs and flows over time, but Hawaiian Airlines' market share has routinely exceeded 80% on all of the major interisland routes.

A couple of years ago, Hawaiian's dominance was on the rise. One of its two major competitors pulled out of Hawaii entirely in early 2014. The other (Island Air) downsized its route network significantly in mid-2015 and canceled plans to expand.
