April 28, 2006 (Press Release) --
Mesa Air Group to 'Go!' to Hawaii Beginning June 9
Mesa Air Group unveiled the name, launch date and introductory fares for the low-fare inter-island service it plans to offer in Hawaii, and began taking reservations.
Mesa is calling the airline Go! and plans to launch the service June 9 with introductory one-way fares as low as $39. Reservations can be made at www.iflygo.com or by calling (888) IFLYGO2.
“We chose the name ‘Go!’ because that’s exactly what we think people want: a reliable, quick, no-hassle way to get from point to point across the state,” said Jonathan Ornstein, Mesa Air Group’s chairman and CEO.
Hawaiian Airlines, however, still is trying to make “Go!” stop. Hawaiian recently filed a lawsuit alleging Mesa is launching inter-island service based on propriety business information it obtained from Hawaiian when the airline was in bankruptcy.
Hawaiian is asking the court for an injunction that would prevent Mesa from launching the service for at least two years.
