Radio Script for Maui TV News on KAOI Radio - April 22, 2008

FROM THE VISIONARY RADIO NEWS CENTER I’M JEFF KING WITH MAUI TV NEWS.

IN A MOVE THAT PRETTY MUCH ASSURES ALOHA AIRLINES WILL NEVER BE A SINGLE AND WHOLE AIRLINE AGAIN, THE COMPANY - WHICH SHUT DOWN IT’S PASSENGER SERVICE LAST MONTH - PLANS TO SELL IT’S ELEVEN HUNDRED-EMPLOYEE AVIATION SERVICES TO PACIFIC AIR CARGO, A LOS ANGELES-BASED COMPANY, for $2.2 MILLION. ALOHA SAID THE DEAL WILL PRESERVE MANY OF THE DIVISION’S ELEVEN HUNDRED JOBS, BUT DID NOT GIVE A SPECIFIC NUMBER.

RISING FUEL COSTS AND EXTRA CHARGES FOR THINGS LIKE A SECOND PIECE OF LUGGAGE MEAN THAT A $600 TO $800-DOLLAR ROUND-TRIP FLIGHT FROM OAHU TO THE WEST COAST NOW COSTS AS MUCH AS OFF-SEASON AIRFARE TO EUROPE JUST A FEW YEARS AGO. WITH ALOHA AND ATA ENDING THEIR PASSENGER SERVICE, THE REMAINING FLIGHTS ARE FULLER, WITH FEWER DISCOUNTED FLIGHTS.

ISLAND WEATHER, A FEW SCATTERED SHOWERS TONIGHT WITH LOWS IN THE MID 60S. MOSTLY SUNNY TOMORROW WITH HIGHS IN THE MID 80S.
