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 thats 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 Groups 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.
