- This article is about the Hawaii-based airline. For other uses, see Go.
go! is an airline that will provide interisland service within the state of Hawaii. It is a division of the Mesa Air Group and flights will be operated by Mesa Airlines. The airline is currently accepting reservations for service starting June 9, 2006, using Bombardier CRJ-200 regional jet aircraft.
Planned Destinations
- Hilo, Hawaii - Hilo International Airport (ITO)
- Honolulu, Oahu - Honolulu International Airport (HNL)
- Lihue, Kauai - Lihue Airport (LIH)
- Kahului, Maui - Kahului Airport (OGG)
- Kailua-Kona, Hawaii, Hawaii - Kona International Airport at Keahole (KOA)
Fleet
At the start of service, the airline plans to use three Bombardier CRJ-200 regional jet aircraft. By July, the airline plans to have increased the fleet to five, with an additional spare aircraft. Depending on the success of the operation, the airline may add larger aircraft in the future, such as the Embraer 195. [1] File:Go!.PNG
Hawaiian Airlines Lawsuit
In February 2006, before the airline had started flying, a lawsuit to stop its operations was filed by potential competitor Hawaiian Airlines. Mesa Air Group had been a potential investor during Hawaiian's Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings, and as such had access to confidential business data that it then used in developing go!. Hawaiian claimed that the confidentiality agreement under which potential investors were given access to the data prohibited the use of that information to compete with Hawaiian for a period of two years. [2]
A month later, Mesa filed a counter suit, claiming that Hawaiian was violating antitrust law by trying to keep Mesa out of Hawaii, using legal maneuvers to prevent Mesa from offering fares below the prevailing fares offered by Hawaiian. Mesa also alleged that Hawaiian had coerced two freight forwarders into refusing parts and equipment Mesa wanted to ship to Hawaii for the new airline. [3]
As of April 2006, both cases were still pending. A hearing is scheduled for 2007. [4]
