From Times Staff and Wire Reports
HAL Inc. Sells Route: The parent of troubled Hawaiian Airlines, disclosed in a filing with the SEC that it is selling its route between Honolulu and Fukuoka, Japan, to Northwest Airlines for $7 million. HAL was awarded the route last year by the U.S. Department of Transportation but lacked the aircraft to offer the service. An earlier deal to lease aircraft from Northwest fell through because of objections from Hawaiian’s pilot union, HAL said. The route sale needs Transportation Department approval.
