### NOTICE OF REGISTRATION OF TRADE NAME

On February 14, 2013

, Hawaiian Airlines , Inc. (“ Hawaiian ”) , a U.S. certificated air carrier, and

Empire Airlines, Inc. (“Empire”), a U.S. certificated air carrier 1 jointly requested that the

Depart ment register the trade name “ Ohana by Hawaiian ” for use in certain of its air

transportation operations.

The joint applicants state that Empire will be providing contracted services using its certificate of

public convenience and necessity to operate H awaiian owned aircraft in certain limited inter

island markets in Hawaii. Those flights will be advertised and held out to the public by

Hawaiian using its two letter designator as the code. Hawaiian will be advertising these flights

under the name “Ohan a by Hawaiian” in the Hawaii inter

- line markets.

Part 215 of the Department’s regulations (14 CFR Part 215) provides that any air carrier wishing

to use an alternative trade name must first register that name with the Department. The rule

further states that the Department may register such name after the air carrier gives notification

to similarly named air carriers of the proposed use of the name. In this case, we identified no

similarly named air carriers.

Importantly, w e note that joint applicant s state that Hawaiian will make all required disclosures

of the identity of the operating air carrier in accordance with the provisions of Part 257 of the

Department’s regulations (14 CFR Part 257). In addition, the joint applicants state that in

accordance with Federal Aviation Administration requirements, both Hawaiian and Empire state

that the aircraft to be used to operate service on behalf of Hawaiian will clearly identify the

operating air carrier.

1 Both Hawaiian’s and Emp ire’s certificate authority was last reissued by O rder 98

Since Hawaiian and Empire have complied with the requirements of Part 215, we acknowledge

the registration of the trade name “ Ohana by Hawaiian ” by Hawaiian and Empire for immediate

use in their operations.
