Aloha Airlines announced today that it will "shut down passenger operations after March 31, 2008."
The 61-year-old airline filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection on March 21, 2008.
The airline states that they are shutting down operations because they could not find a "qualified buyer" for their passenger service.
David A. Banmiller, Aloha Airlines' president and chief executive officer, stated that the airline's shutdown was because of "unfair competition." The airline's shutdown will affect 1,900 employees.
