Hawaiian Airlines CEO Peter Ingram has said the group is off to a 'solid start' in 2019, according to its latest first quarter results.
The airline reported a net income of $36 million in the first quarter, an increase of 27%, compared to $28.5 million in the same period last year.
These results come despite a drop in operating revenue for the quarter, reported at $657 million, a drop of 1.3% year-over-year from $665.4 million.
Ingram added: "We made important progress against our 2019 priorities in the first quarter, advancing a host of initiatives that will bring lasting value to our guests, our team, and our shareholders.
Hawaiian Airlines took delivery of one Airbus A321neo aircraft in March, increasing the size of its A321neo fleet to 12 aircraft.
The airline retired the last of its Boeing 767 aircraft in January.
