Hawaiian Airlines: "A good year of growth and improving financial performance was finished off by a disappointing break-even result in the fourth quarter. The sharp weakening of the Yen, continued excess capacity in certain markets and an accounting charge all worked to depress our earnings for the period despite many other things going right for the business," Mark Dunkerley, president and CEO.
