HONOLULU, Oct. 3 /PRNewswire/ -- Aloha Airlines has reclaimed the top spot as the most punctual of the nation's airlines, with a record-breaking 97.0 percent on-time record for the month of August 2007. That is the best monthly performance posted in the past two years among all the airlines that report to the U.S. Department of Transportation.

"This is the kind of achievement that tells Aloha's 3,500 employees that their hard work day in and day out has paid off," said David A. Banmiller, Aloha's president and chief executive officer. "We strive to be among the best airlines in on-time performance not purely out of our sense of pride but for our customers, who have come to expect this from Aloha Airlines."

Aloha previously claimed the No. 1 on-time performance record for the months of April 2007 and November and December 2006. Aloha has been first or second in on-time performance since it began reporting its performance statistics to the U.S. government voluntarily in April 2006.

Aloha has also topped the list for fewest complaints in seven months. For August 2007, Aloha came out second for fewest complaints and fewest delayed bags.

Now in its 61st year of service to Hawaii, Aloha serves the islands of Oahu, Maui, Kauai and the Big Island of Hawaii with comfortable, full-size Boeing jets and convenient flights throughout the day. Aloha also offers transpacific service between the Islands and Oakland, Sacramento, Orange County, San Diego, Las Vegas and Reno.

Aloha's transpacific service has consistently received high ratings in readers' polls by Conde Nast Traveler, Travel+Leisure and Zagat Survey. Aloha Airlines is also the leader in air cargo and aviation contract services in the State of Hawaii.
