Aloha Airlines ends flights today

Aloha Airlines announced that its last day of operations will be today, as a result of the company going out of business. Already flights from Oakland to Las Vegas have been cancelled. The company said that United Airlines and other airlines will assist and accommodate passengers who have been impacted by the cancellation. The shut down of the passenger operations will affect about 1,900 employees. Also, AlohaPass miles will no longer be honored. Those who paid for a flight with a credit card should contact their travel agent to see about a refund, or a bankruptcy court if they paid cash, the airline said.
