REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The Board of Directors and Shareholders

Hawaiian Holdings, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Hawaiian Holdings, Inc. as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income (loss), shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2012. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Hawaiian Holdings, Inc. at December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2012, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), Hawaiian Holdings, Inc.’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2012, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated February 8, 2013, expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

Hawaiian Holdings, Inc.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

1. Business and Organization

Hawaiian Holdings, Inc. (the “Company,” “Holdings,” “we,” “us” and “our”) and its direct wholly-owned subsidiary, Hawaiian Airlines, Inc. (Hawaiian), are incorporated in the State of Delaware. The Company’s primary asset is its sole ownership of all issued and outstanding shares of common stock of Hawaiian.

Hawaiian is engaged in the scheduled air transportation of passengers and cargo amongst the Hawaiian Islands (the Neighbor Island routes), between the Hawaiian Islands and certain cities in the United States (the North America routes), and between the Hawaiian Islands and the South Pacific, Australia and Asia (the International routes), collectively referred to as our Scheduled Operations. In addition, Hawaiian also operates various charter flights. Hawaiian is the largest airline headquartered in Hawaii and the eleventh largest domestic airline in the United States based on revenue passenger miles reported by the Research and Innovative Technology Administration Bureau of Transportation Services as of October 31, 2012, latest data available. As of December 31, 2012, Hawaiian’s fleet consisted of 18 Boeing 717-200 aircraft for its Neighbor Island routes, and 16 Boeing 767-300 and nine Airbus A330-200 aircraft for its North America, International and charter routes. The Company also has two ATR42 turboprop aircraft for pending service to new Neighbor Island destinations in 2013.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, including its principal subsidiary, Hawaiian, through which the Company conducts substantially all of its operations. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.

Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all investments with an original maturity of three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents.

Restricted Cash

At December 31, 2012 and 2011, restricted cash primarily consist of cash deposits held by institutions that process credit card transactions.

Spare Parts and Supplies

Spare parts and supplies are valued at average cost, and primarily consist of expendable parts for flight equipment and other supplies. An allowance for obsolescence of expendable parts is provided over the estimated useful lives of the related aircraft and engines for spare parts expected to be on hand at the date the aircraft are retired from service. An allowance is also provided to reduce the carrying amount of excess spare parts to the lower of cost or net realizable value. These allowances are based on management’s estimates and are subject to change.

Property, Equipment and Depreciation

Property and equipment are stated at cost and depreciated on a straight-line basis to its estimated residual value over the asset’s estimated useful life. Depreciation begins when the asset is placed into service. Aircraft and related parts begin depreciating on the aircraft’s first revenue flight.

Estimated useful lives and residual values of property and equipment are as follows:

Boeing 717-200 aircraft and engines	7 - 11 years, 7 - 34% residual value
Boeing 767-300 aircraft and engines	7 - 20 years, 0 - 10% residual value
Airbus A330-200 aircraft and engines	25 years, 10% residual value
Aircraft under capital leases	8 - 12 years, no residual value
Major rotable parts	Average lease term or useful life for related aircraft, 10% - 15% residual value
Improvements to leased flight equipment	Shorter of lease term or useful life
Facility leasehold improvements	Shorter of lease term, including assumed lease renewals when renewal is economically compelled at key airports or useful life
Furniture, fixtures and other equipment	3 - 7 years, no residual value
Capitalized software	3 - 7 years, no residual value

Additions and modifications that significantly enhance the operating performance and/or extend the useful lives of property and equipment are capitalized and depreciated over the lesser of the remaining useful life of the asset or the remaining lease term, as applicable. Expenditures that do not improve or extend asset lives are charged to expense as incurred. Pre-delivery deposits are capitalized when paid.

Aircraft under capital leases are recorded at an amount equal to the present value of minimum lease payments utilizing our incremental borrowing rate at lease inception and amortized on a straight-line basis over the lesser of the remaining useful life of the aircraft or the lease term. The amortization is recorded in depreciation and amortization expense on the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

The Company capitalizes certain costs related to the acquisition and development of computer software and amortizes these costs using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the software. The net book value of computer software, which is included in Other property and equipment on our consolidated balance sheets, was $15.4 million and $16.0 million at December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Amortization expense related to computer software was $7.7 million, $5.9 million and $6.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Aircraft Maintenance and Repair Costs

Aircraft maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred, except for charges for maintenance and repairs under power-by-the-hour maintenance contracts which are accrued and expensed when a contractual obligation exists, generally on the basis of hours flown.

The Company accounts for nonrefundable maintenance deposits as an asset until any portion of the estimated total amount of the deposit is less than probable of being returned on leased aircraft. In addition, payments of maintenance deposits that are not “substantially and contractually related to the maintenance of the lease assets” are expensed as incurred. Any costs not expected to be recoverable are considered to be not “substantially and contractually related to maintenance of the lease asset.” Therefore, the Company bifurcates deposit payments and expenses the proportionate share that is estimated to not be recoverable from existing and future nonrefundable deposits.

Goodwill and Indefinite-lived Intangible Assets

Goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives are not amortized, but are tested for impairment at least annually using a “two-step process” under Accounting Standard Codification (ASC) Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (ASC 350). In the first step, the fair value of the Company’s reporting unit is compared to its carrying value. If the fair value of the Company’s reporting unit exceeds the carrying value of its net assets, goodwill is not impaired and no further testing is required. If the carrying value of the net assets of the Company’s reporting unit exceeds its fair value, then the second step of the impairment test must be performed in order to determine the implied fair value of the Company’s reporting unit. If the carrying value of the goodwill exceeds its implied fair value, then an impairment loss for the difference is recorded.

For its annual goodwill impairment test, the Company performed the first step under ASC 350 and concluded that as of October 1, 2012, the carrying value of its Goodwill was not impaired.

8

For its annual intangible asset impairment test, the Company adopted the provisions of ASU 2012-02, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other: Testing Indefinite—Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment, which amends ASC 350 and allows a Company to first assess qualitative factors, to determine whether or not it is necessary to perform the quantitative test for testing indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment outlined in ASC 350. Management has concluded that as of October 1, 2012, there was no impairment of its indefinite-lived intangible asset.

In the event that the Company determines that the values of goodwill or indefinite-lived intangible assets have become impaired, the Company will incur an accounting charge during the period in which such determination is made. There were no impairments recorded in 2012, 2011 and 2010.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Finite-lived Intangible Assets

Long-lived assets used in operations, consisting principally of property and equipment and finite-lived intangible assets, are tested for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate, in management’s judgment, that the assets might be impaired and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than its carrying amount. When testing for impairment, management considers market trends, the expected useful lives of the assets, changes in economic conditions, recent transactions involving sales of similar assets and, if necessary, estimates of future discounted cash flows. If, at any time, management determines the net carrying value of an asset is not recoverable, the amount is reduced to its fair value during the period in which such determination is made. Any changes in the estimated useful lives of these assets will be accounted for prospectively. There were no impairments to long-lived and finite-lived intangible assets, nor was there a need to adjust the remaining useful lives of these assets in 2012, 2011 and 2010.

Leased Aircraft Return Costs

Costs associated with returning leased aircraft are accrued when it is probable that a cash payment will be made and that amount is reasonably estimable. Any accrual is based on the time remaining on the lease, planned aircraft usage and the provisions included in the lease agreement, although the actual amount due to any lessor upon return will not be known with certainty until lease termination.

Revenue Recognition

Passenger revenue is recognized either when the transportation is provided or when tickets expire unused. The value of passenger tickets for future travel is included as air traffic liability.

Various taxes and fees assessed on the sale of tickets to end customers are collected by the Company as an agent and remitted to taxing authorities. These taxes and fees have been presented on a net basis in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations and recorded as a liability until remitted to the appropriate taxing authority.

Other operating revenue include checked baggage revenue, cargo revenue, ticket change and cancellation fees, charter revenue, ground handling fees, commissions and fees earned under certain joint marketing agreements with other companies, inflight revenue and other incidental sales.

Baggage fees, cargo and charter revenue are recognized when the transportation is provided. Ticket change and cancellation fees are recognized at the time the fees are assessed. All other revenue is recognized as revenue when the related goods and services are provided.

Frequent Flyer Program

HawaiianMiles, Hawaiian’s frequent flyer travel award program, provides a variety of awards to program members based on accumulated mileage. The Company utilizes the incremental cost method of accounting for free travel awards issued from the HawaiianMiles program. The Company records a liability for the estimated incremental cost of providing travel awards that are expected to be redeemed on Hawaiian or the contractual rate of expected redemption on partner airlines. The Company estimates the incremental cost of travel awards based on periodic studies of actual costs and applies these cost estimates to all issued miles, less an appropriate breakage factor for estimated miles that will not be redeemed. Incremental cost includes the costs of fuel, meals and beverages, insurance and certain other passenger traffic-related costs, but does not include any costs for aircraft ownership and maintenance. The breakage factor is estimated based on an analysis of historical expirations.

9

The Company also sells mileage credits to companies participating in our frequent flyer program. These sales are accounted for as multiple-element arrangements, with one element representing the travel that will ultimately be provided when the mileage credits are redeemed and the other consisting of marketing related activities that we conduct with the participating company. The estimated fair value of the transportation portion of these mileage credits is deferred and recognized as passenger revenue over the period when transportation is expected to be provided (currently estimated at 22 months). Amounts received in excess of the expected transportation’s fair value are recognized immediately as other revenue at the time of sale as compensation for marketing services performed. The estimated fair value of the air transportation component is based on several factors, including the equivalent ticket value of similar Company fares and customer habits in redeeming free travel awards.

Under the programs of certain participating companies, credits are accumulated in accounts maintained by the participating company and then transferred into a member’s HawaiianMiles account for immediate redemption of free travel awards. For those transactions, revenue is amortized over the period during which the mileage is projected to be used (currently estimated at five months).

On a periodic basis, we review and update the assumptions used in our frequent flyer accounting. On an annual basis, we update the deferral period and deferral rate for mileage credits sold to participating companies. We also update the incremental cost assumption quarterly and the breakage rate assumption annually for free travel awards earned in connection with the purchase of passenger tickets.

Commissions and Other Selling Expenses

Commissions and other selling expenses include credit card commissions, the costs incurred to provide flights and other awards provided by HawaiianMiles, advertising and promotional expenses and computer reservation system charges, as well as commissions paid to outside agents for the sales of passenger and cargo traffic. Sales commissions are deferred when paid and are subsequently recognized as expense when the related revenue is recognized. Prepaid sales commissions are included in prepaid expenses and other current assets in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. All other components of commissions and other selling expenses, including advertising costs, are expensed when incurred. Advertising expense was $11.2 million, $9.2 million and $11.0 million for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011, and 2010, respectively.

Capitalized Interest

Interest is capitalized upon acquisition of aircraft and engines, which include any interest related to predelivery deposits and interest incurred for significant modifications made to the aircraft, and is depreciated over the estimated useful life of the asset from service inception date. The rate at which interest is capitalized is based on the Company’s weighted-average borrowing rate, which was 7.0%, 6.6% and 7.0% during 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Earnings (Loss) Per Share

Basic earnings (loss) per share, which excludes dilution, is computed by dividing net income or loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period.

Diluted earnings (loss) per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock.

(1)In 2010, 1.5 million outstanding warrants expired unexercised.

(2)In March 2011, the Company entered into a Convertible Note transaction which included the sale of convertible notes, purchase of convertible note hedges and the sale of warrants. See Note 6—Debt for further discussion. These weighted common stock equivalents were excluded because their conversion price of $7.88 per share for the convertible notes and $10.00 for the warrants exceeded the average market price of our common stock during these periods, and the effect of their inclusion would be antidilutive. These securities could be dilutive in future periods. The convertible note hedges will always be antidilutive and, therefore, will have no effect on diluted earnings per share.

Stock Compensation Plans

The Company has a stock compensation plan for it and its subsidiaries’ officers, consultants and non-employee directors. The Company accounts for stock compensation awards under ASC 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation, which requires companies to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the fair value of such awards on the dates they are granted. The fair value of the awards are estimated using the following: (1) option-pricing models for grants of stock options, (2) Monte Carlo simulations for restricted stock units with a market condition, or (3) fair value at the measurement date (usually the grant date) for awards of stock subject to time and / or performance-based vesting. The resultant cost is recognized as compensation expense over the period of time during which an employee is required to provide services to the Company (the service period) in exchange for the award, the service period generally being the vesting period of the award.

In accordance with ASC 718, the Company records benefits of tax deductions in excess of recognized stock compensation expense as financing cash flows.

Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Bureau (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update 2011-05, Comprehensive Income—Presentation of Comprehensive Income (ASU 2011-05). This update changes the requirements for the presentation of other comprehensive income, eliminating the option to present components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholders’ equity, amongst other things. ASU 2011-05 requires that all nonowner changes in stockholders’ equity be presented in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. These amendments are effective for fiscal years and interim period beginning after December 15, 2011 and should be applied retrospectively. The Company adopted this guidance during the quarter ended March 31, 2012 and the two-statement approach is presented within this report.

In May 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2011-04, Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs (ASU 2011-04). ASU 2011-04 amended Accounting ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (ASC 820), to converge the fair value measurement guidance in U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs). Some of the amendments clarify the application of existing fair value measurement requirements, while other amendments change a

11

particular principle in ASC 820. In addition, ASU 2011-04 requires additional fair value disclosures. The amendments are to be applied prospectively and are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company adopted this guidance during the quarter ended March 31, 2012.

In July 2012, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2012-02, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other Testing Indefinite—Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment (ASU 2012-02). ASU 2012-02 amended ASC 350, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other, to allow an entity the option to first assess the qualitative factors in testing indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment, to determine whether or not it is necessary to perform the quantitative impairment test originally outlined in ASC 350. This amendment is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after September 15, 2012 and is to be applied prospectively. The Company adopted this guidance during its annual intangible asset impairment test for the year ended December 31, 2012.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2011-11, Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities (ASU 2011-11). ASU 2011-11 requires entities to disclose both gross and net information of both instruments and transactions eligible for offset on the statement of financial position and instruments and transactions subject to an agreement similar to a master netting arrangement. This amendment is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013 and should be applied retrospectively. The Company is currently evaluating the effect that the provisions of ASU 2011-11 will have on its financial statements.

3. Fair Value Measurements

ASC 820 clarifies that fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. As a basis for considering such assumptions, ASC 820 establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:

Level 1	—	Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
Level 2	—	Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term for the assets or liabilities; and
Level 3	—	Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

The tables below present the Company’s financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2012 and 2011:

Cash equivalents.  The Company’s cash equivalents consist of money market securities and are classified as Level 1 investments and are valued using inputs observable in markets for identical securities.

Long-term investments.  During the quarter ended September 30, 2010, the Company sold all of its remaining auction rate securities for $26.7 million and recognized a pre-tax gain of approximately $1 million through nonoperating income (expense). These assets were previously classified as level 3 investments and valued using unobservable inputs.

The reconciliation of our assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis using unobservable inputs (Level 3) for the year ended December 31, 2010 is as follows:

	Auction rate securities (Level 3)*
	(in thousands)
Balance as of December 31, 2009	$	29,921
Sale of long-term investments	(26,672		)

Realized net gains (losses):
Included in earnings	1,168
Reclassified from other comprehensive income	(1,186		)
Balance as of December 31, 2010	$	—

*As of December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, there were no assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis using unobservable inputs (Level 3).

Fuel derivative contracts.  The Company’s fuel derivative contracts consist of Brent and West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude oil call options and collars (a combination of call options and put options), and Brent put options and heating oil which are not traded on a public exchange. The fair value of these instruments is determined based on inputs available or derived from public markets including contractual terms, market prices, yield curve and measures of volatility among others.

The fair value of the Company’s debt (excluding obligations under capital leases) with a carrying value of $554.6 million and $461.5 million at December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively, was approximately $547.9 million ($81.1 million as Level 2 and $466.8 million as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy) and $445.2 million ($66.4 million as Level 2 and $378.8 million as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy). The Company’s fair value estimates were based on either market prices or the discounted amount of future cash flows using its current incremental rate of borrowing for similar liabilities.

The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, other receivables and accounts payable approximate their fair value due to their short-term nature.

Nonfinancial Assets Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis

See Note 7—Leases, for information related to fair value measurements of nonfinancial assets on a nonrecurring basis performed during 2011.

4. Fuel Risk Management

The Company’s operations are inherently dependent upon the price and availability of aircraft fuel. To manage economic risks associated with fluctuations in aircraft fuel prices, the Company periodically enters into derivative financial instruments such as heating oil, WTI and Brent crude oil call options and collars. During the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011, 2010, the Company primarily used heating oil and crude oil call options and collars to hedge its aircraft fuel expense. As of December 31, 2012, the Company had outstanding fuel derivative contracts covering 127.0 million gallons of jet fuel that will be settled over the next 18 months. These derivative instruments were not designated as hedges under ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging (ASC 815), for hedge accounting treatment. As a result, any changes in fair value of these derivative instruments are adjusted through other nonoperating income (expense) in the period of change.

The following table reflects the amount of realized and unrealized gains and losses recorded as nonoperating income (expense) in the Consolidated Statements of Operations during 2012, 2011, and 2010.

	Year Ended December 31,
Fuel derivative contracts	2012			2011			2010
	(in thousands)
Gains (losses) on fuel derivatives recorded in nonoperating income (expense):

Unrealized gains (losses) on contracts that will settle in future periods	(6,325		)	(2,512		)	4,066
Gains (losses) on fuel derivatives recorded as nonoperating income (expense)	$	(11,330	)	$	(6,862	)	$	641

ASC 815 requires a reporting entity to elect a policy of whether to offset rights to reclaim cash collateral or obligations to return cash collateral against derivative assets and liabilities executed with the same counterparty, or present such amounts on a gross basis. Based on the fair value of our fuel derivative contracts, our counterparties may require us to post collateral when the price of the underlying commodity decreases. The Company’s accounting policy is to present its derivative assets and liabilities on a net basis including the collateral posted with the counterparty. The Company had no collateral posted with our fuel contract counterparties as of December 31, 2012, 2011, and 2010.

The following table presents the fair value of the asset and liability derivatives that are not designated as hedging instruments under ASC 815 as well as the location of the asset and liability balances within the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

(*)Weighted average is based on the gross carrying values and estimated useful lives as of June 2, 2005 (the date Hawaiian emerged from bankruptcy). The useful lives ranged from sixteen for a favorable aircraft lease to six for a favorable aircraft maintenance contract.

Amortization expense related to the above intangible assets was $18.8 million, $23.4 million, and $23.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011, and 2010, respectively. Amortization of the favorable aircraft and engine leases and the favorable aircraft maintenance contracts are included in aircraft rent and maintenance materials and repairs, respectively, in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010. The estimated future amortization expense as of December 31, 2012 of the intangible assets subject to amortization is as follows (in thousands):

(2)As of December 31, 2012, the Convertible Note discount is being amortized to interest expense over the remaining term of 3.25 years.

Convertible Notes

On March 23, 2011, the Company issued $86.25 million principal amount of convertible senior notes (the Convertible Notes) due March 15, 2016. The Convertible Notes were issued at par and bear interest at a rate of 5.00% per annum. Interest is paid semi-annually, in arrears, on March 15 and September 15 each year.

Each $1,000 of principal of the Convertible Notes is convertible under certain circumstances, at an initial conversion rate of 126.8730 shares of the Company’s common stock (or a total of approximately 10.9 million shares), which is the equivalent of approximately $7.8819 per share, subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain specified events as set forth in the indenture governing the terms of the Convertible Notes. Upon conversion, the Company will have the right, at the Company’s election, to pay or deliver cash, shares of the Company’s common stock or a combination thereof. Holders may convert their Convertible Notes at their option at any time prior to November 15, 2015, only if one of the following conditions has been met (during 2012, none of the conditions permitting conversion were met):

·During any calendar quarter after the calendar quarter ending June 30, 2011, and only during such calendar quarter, if the closing price of the Company’s common stock for at least 20 trading days in the period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on the last trading day of the preceding calendar quarter exceeds 130% of the conversion price per share of common stock in effect on the last day of such preceding calendar quarter;

·During the five consecutive business days immediately after any 10 consecutive trading day period in which the average trading price per $1,000 principal amount of the Convertible Notes during such period was less than 97% of the product of the closing sale price of the common stock and the conversion rate on such trading day;

·The Company makes specified distributions to holders of the Company’s common stock or specified corporate transactions occur.

16

On or after November 15, 2015, and up through and including the second business day immediately preceding March 15, 2016, the Holders may convert their Convertible Notes into common stock.

Holders may require the Company to repurchase all or a portion of their Convertible Notes upon a fundamental change, primarily a change in control or termination of trading, at a cash repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Convertible Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any. The Company may not redeem the Convertible Notes prior to their maturity date.

When accounting for the Convertible Notes, the Company applied accounting guidance related to the accounting for convertible debt instruments that may be settled in cash upon conversion. This guidance required the Company to separately account for the liability and equity components of the Convertible Notes in a manner that reflects our nonconvertible debt borrowing rate when interest cost is recognized in subsequent periods. This guidance required bifurcation of a component of the debt, classification of that component in equity, and then accretion of the resulting discount on the debt as part of interest expense reflected in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Accordingly, the Company recorded an adjustment to reduce the carrying value of the Convertible Notes by $19.5 million and recorded this amount in Shareholders’ Equity. This adjustment was based on the calculated fair value of a similar debt instrument that did not have an associated equity component. The annual interest rate calculated for a similar debt instrument was 11.00%. During 2012, the carrying amount of the equity component and the effective interest rate applied to the liability component remaining unchanged from 2011.

The total issuance costs for the Convertible Notes was $3.3 million, of which $2.5 million was allocated to the debt component and $0.8 million was allocated to the equity component during 2011. The issuance costs allocated to debt were capitalized and are being amortized to interest expense over the term of the Convertible Notes. The issuance costs allocated to equity were recorded as a reduction of additional paid-in-capital.

Non-cash interest expense relating to the amortization of the discount allocated to the debt component of the Convertible Notes for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 was $3.5 million and $2.4 million, respectively, and interest expense over for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 was $4.8 million and 3.8 million, respectively.

Convertible Note Hedges and Warrants

In connection with the issuance of the Convertible Notes, the Company entered into separate convertible note hedge transactions (the Convertible Note Hedges) and separate warrant transactions (the Warrants) with certain financial investors to reduce the potential dilution of the Company’s common stock and to offset potential payments by the Company to holders of the Convertible Notes in excess of the principal of the Convertible Notes upon conversion. The Convertible Note Hedges and Warrants are separate transactions, entered into by the Company with the financial institutions, and are not part of the Convertible Notes described above.

The Company paid $19.5 million for the Convertible Note Hedges. Under the terms of the Convertible Note Hedges, the counterparties to the Convertible Note Hedges will generally deliver to the Company amounts in excess of the principal amount of the Convertible Notes delivered upon conversion by the Company to the holders of the Convertible Notes in the same form of consideration elected to be delivered by the Company to the holders of the Convertible Notes under the indenture for the Convertible Notes. The Company may elect to settle the conversion feature of the Convertible Notes in cash or shares of common stock or in any combination of cash or shares of common stock as determined in accordance with the provisions of the indenture. The Convertible Note Hedges are currently exercisable and expire on March 15, 2016.

Concurrent with the issuance of the Convertible Notes, the Company sold Warrants to certain financial institutions that permit such financial institutions to acquire shares of the Company’s common stock. The Warrants are exercisable by the financial institutions for 10.9 million shares of the Company’s common stock at a current exercise price of $10.00 per share. The Company received $11.9 million in proceeds from the sale of the Warrants. The Warrants expire at various dates beginning in June 2016 and ending in September 2016. The Warrants provide for net share settlement by the Company, subject to the option of the Company to deliver cash in lieu of shares if certain conditions under the Warrants have been met.

The Company determined that the Convertible Note Hedges and Warrants meet the requirements of the FASB’s accounting guidance for accounting for derivative financial instruments indexed to, and potentially settled in, a Company’s own stock and other relevant guidance and, therefore, are classified as equity transactions. As a result, the Company recorded the purchase of the Convertible Note Hedges as a reduction in additional paid-in-capital and the proceeds of the Warrants as an increase to additional-paid-in-capital in the Consolidated Balance Sheets, and the Company will not recognize subsequent changes in the fair value of the agreements in the consolidated financial statements.

Revolving Credit Facility

The Company has a secured Revolving Credit Facility in an amount up to $75.0 million, with a variable-interest rate of 6.25% at December 31, 2012, and maturing in December 2013. As of December 31, 2012 and 2011 the Company had no outstanding borrowing under the Revolving Credit Facility and $68.9 million and $56.9 million available, respectively, (net of various outstanding letters of credit), and is in compliance with its financial covenants under the Revolving Credit Facility.

As of December 31, 2012, the scheduled maturities of long-term debt are as follows (in thousands):

2013	100,477
2014	37,515
2015	39,435
2016	125,911
2017	41,790
Thereafter	223,013

Cash payments for interest totaled $35.2 million, $15.6 million, and $10.1 million in 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

7. Leases

The Company leases aircraft, engines and other assets under long-term lease arrangements. Other leased assets include real property, airport and terminal facilities, and general offices. Certain leases include escalation clauses and renewal options. When lease renewals are considered to be reasonably assured, the rental payments that will be due during the renewal periods are included in the determination of rent expense over the life of the lease.

Aircraft

On June 27, 2011, Hawaiian terminated lease agreements and concurrently entered into a purchase agreement with the lessor covering fifteen Boeing 717-200 aircraft, each such aircraft including two Rolls-Royce BR700-715 engines. These aircraft were previously operated by Hawaiian under four capital and eleven operating lease agreements. The purchase price for the fifteen Boeing 717-200 aircraft was $230 million, comprised of financing of $192.8 million through secured loan agreements with Boeing Capital, cash payment of $25.0 million, and the non-cash application of maintenance and security deposits held by the previous lessor and current debt financier of $12.2 million. This purchase price was reduced by certain previously recorded lease valuation adjustments related to these aircraft. The Company recognized the excess of the purchase price paid over the fair value of the aircraft under operating leases as a cost of terminating the leases under ASC 840—Leases (formerly FASB Interpretation No. 26, Accounting for Purchase of a Leased Asset by the Lessee during the Term of the Lease) and elected to apply the same accounting policy to the aircraft under capital leases. As a result, the Company reduced the value of the fifteen Boeing 717-200 to their fair value of $135 million on its Consolidated Balance Sheets and recorded lease termination charges of $70.0 million on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company determined the valuation of the aircraft based on a third-party appraisal that considered multiple inputs, including market transactions for similar aircraft and information specific to the condition of each aircraft. As a result, this fair value measurement was considered a Level 3 measurement as described in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements. See additional information on the loan agreements at Note 6 to the consolidated financial statements.

As of December 31, 2012, the Company had lease contracts for 17 of its 45 aircraft. Of the 17 lease contracts, three aircraft lease contracts were accounted for as capital leases, with the remaining 14 lease contracts accounted for as operating leases in accordance with ASC 840, Accounting for Leases. These aircraft leases have remaining lease terms ranging from approximately one to thirteen years. Under these lease agreements, the Company is required to pay monthly specified amounts of rent plus maintenance reserves based on utilization of the aircraft. Maintenance reserves are amounts paid by the Company to the aircraft lessor as a deposit for certain future scheduled airframe, engine and landing gear overhaul costs. Maintenance reserves are reimbursable once the Company successfully completes such qualified scheduled airframe, engine and/or landing gear overhauls.

18

As of December 31, 2012, the scheduled future minimum rental payments under capital leases and operating leases with noncancelable basic terms of more than one year are as follows:

	Capital Leases				Operating Leases

Less amounts representing interest	35,972		67
Present value of minimum capital lease payments	$	106,307	$	365

(*)At December 31, 2012, the Company had three aircraft under capital leases (two Boeing 717-200 aircraft and one A330-200 aircraft) that were included in property and equipment on the Consolidated Balance Sheets

Accumulated amortization for our aircraft and other capital leases was $8.3 million and $1.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Rent expense was $151.0 million, $156.7 million and $146.3 million during the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

8. Income Taxes

The significant components of income tax expense (benefit) are as follows:

	Year Ended December 31,
	2012		2011			2010
	(in thousands)
Current
Federal	$	—	$	(36,515	)	$	18,364
State	1,216		(5,686		)	5,360
	1,216		(42,201		)	23,724
Deferred
Federal	$	27,936	$	37,150		$	(44,158	)
State	3,397		6,618			(7,832		)
	31,333		43,768			(51,990		)
Income tax expense (benefit)	$	32,549	$	1,567		$	(28,266	)

Cash payments (refunds) for income taxes were ($16.9) million, ($21.3) million and $26.0 million for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively. As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company recorded income taxes receivable of $4.0 and $23.5 million respectively, for overpayments and net operating loss carrybacks.

19

The income tax expense (benefit) differed from amounts computed at the statutory federal income tax rate as follows:

	Year Ended December 31,
	2012			2011			2010
	(in thousands)
Income tax expense (benefit) computed at the statutory federal rate	$	30,025		$	(368	)	$	28,696
Increase (decrease) resulting from:

Other	(1,385		)	6			(262		)
Income tax expense (benefit)	$	32,549		$	1,567		$	(28,266	)

During 2010, as a result of its continued positive earnings, as well as positive forecasted earnings in the future, and certain tax planning strategies, management concluded that it was more likely than not that the Company would realize its deferred tax assets, and therefore, the Company released its remaining valuation allowance which amounted to approximately $57.5 million.

The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income (including the reversals of deferred tax liabilities) during the periods in which those deferred tax assets will become deductible. The Company’s management assesses the realizability of its deferred tax assets, and records a valuation allowance when it is more likely than not that a portion, or all, of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. As result of positive forecasted earnings in the future and certain tax planning strategies, management concluded that it was more likely than not that the Company will realize its deferred tax assets, and therefore, the Company has not recorded a valuation allowance as of December 31, 2012.

The components of the Company’s deferred tax assets and liabilities as of December 31, 2012 and 2011 were as follows:

	December 31,
	2012			2011
	(in thousands)
Deferred tax assets:
Accumulated pension and other postretirement benefits	$	135,922		$	120,958
Leases	5,610			6,491
Air traffic liability	10,745			9,745
Federal and state net operating loss carryforwards	75,223			39,271
Alternative minimum tax credit carryforwards	5,909			4,563
Other assets	25,814			22,466
Total deferred tax assets	$	259,223		$	203,494
Deferred tax liabilities:
Intangible assets	$	(10,169	)	$	(16,429	)
Plant and equipment, principally accelerated depreciation	(187,222		)	(104,754		)
Other liabilities	(7,781		)	(7,456		)
Total deferred tax liabilities	(205,172		)	(128,639		)
Net deferred tax asset	$	54,051		$	74,855

At December 31, 2012, the Company had available for federal income tax purposes an alternative minimum tax credit carryforward of approximately $5.9 million, which is available for an indefinite period, and federal and a state net operating loss carryforward of $232.0 million. The tax benefit of the net operating loss carryforwards as of December 31, 2012 is $75.2 million, substantially all of which will not begin to expire until 2031.

20

In accordance with ASC 740, the Company reviews its uncertain tax positions on an ongoing basis. The Company may be required to adjust its liability as these matters are finalized, which could increase or decrease its income tax expense and effective income tax rates or result in an adjustment to the valuation allowance. The Company does not expect that the unrecognized tax benefit related to uncertain tax positions will significantly change within the next twelve months.

The table below reconciles beginning and ending amounts of unrecognized tax benefits related to uncertain tax positions:

	2012		2011			2010
	(in thousands)
Balance at January 1	$	—	$	1,983		$	8,577
Increases related to prior year tax positions	—		—			686
Decreases related to prior year tax positions	—		(367		)	—
Settlements with taxing authority	—		(490		)	(1,133		)
Effect of the expiration of statutes of limitation	—		(1,126		)	(6,147		)
Balance at December 31	$	—	$	—		$	1,983

The Company records interest and penalties relating to unrecognized tax benefits in other nonoperating expense in its Consolidated Statements of Operations. Interest and penalties amounted to none, none and $0.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The Company recorded an offset to interest expense of none, $0.6 million and $1.4 million during the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The Company had no accrued interest and penalties at December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

The Company files its tax returns as prescribed by the tax laws of the jurisdictions in which it operates. The Company’s federal income tax returns for tax years 2010 and beyond remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”). The IRS commenced examination of the Company’s federal income tax return for 2010 in the third quarter of 2012. As of December 31, 2012, the IRS had not proposed any adjustments to the Company’s return. The IRS concluded its examination of the Company’s federal income tax returns for the 2009 tax year in the third quarter of 2012. The Company is not currently under audit in any other taxing jurisdiction in which it operates and the related state and local income tax returns remain open to examination. The Company believes, however, that any potential assessment in these jurisdictions would be immaterial.

9. Employee Benefit Plans

Defined Benefit Plans

Hawaiian sponsors various defined benefit pension plans covering the Air Line Pilots Association, International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers (AFL-CIO) (IAM) and other personnel (salaried, Transport Workers Union, Network Engineering Group). The plans for the IAM and other employees were frozen in exchange for defined contribution plans in prior years. Effective January 1, 2008, benefit accruals for pilots under age 50 as of July 1, 2005 were frozen and Hawaiian began making contributions to an alternate defined contribution retirement program for pilots. All of the pilots’ accrued benefits under their defined benefit plan at the date of the freeze were preserved, but there are no further benefit accruals subsequent to the date of the freeze (with the exception of certain pilots who were both age 50 and older and participants of the plan on July 1, 2005). In addition, Hawaiian sponsors four unfunded defined benefit postretirement medical and life insurance plans and a separate plan to administer the pilots’ disability benefits.

The following actuarial assumptions were used to determine the net periodic benefit expense and the projected benefit obligation at December 31:

	Pension				Postretirement				Disability
	2012		2011		2012		2011		2012		2011
Weighted average assumption used to determine net periodic benefit expense and projected benefit obligations:
Discount rate to determine net periodic benefit expense	4.94	%	5.71	%	5.14	%	5.81	%	4.91	%	5.59	%
Discount rate to determine projected benefit obligation	4.10	%	4.94	%	4.24	%	5.14	%	4.06	%	4.91	%
Expected return on plan assets	7.30	%++	7.90	%	N/A		N/A		6.90	%++	7.50	%
Rate of compensation increase	Various	+	Various	+	N/A		N/A		Various	+	Various	+

+Differs for each pilot based on current fleet and seat position on the aircraft and seniority service. Negotiated salary increases and expected changes in fleet and seat positions on the aircraft are included in the assumed rate of compensation increase which range from 1.5% to 7.50% in 2012 and 2.0% to 7.5% in 2011.

++Expected return on plan assets used to determine the net periodic benefit expense for 2013 will be 6.55% for Pension and 6.15% for Disability.

Estimated amounts that will be amortized from accumulated other comprehensive income into net periodic benefit cost in 2013 are $5.1 million and $3.1 million in pension benefits and other postretirement benefits, respectively. Amounts are generally amortized into accumulated other comprehensive income over the average future service to expected retirement age (exception: Salaried and IAM pension plans use average expected future lifetime of plan participants).

At December 31, 2012 and 2011, the health care cost trend rate used to determine the net periodic expense was assumed to be 9.0% and to decrease gradually to 4.75% in 2019. At December 31, 2012 and 2011, the health care cost trend rate used to determine the projected benefit obligation was assumed to be 8.0% and to decrease gradually to 4.75% in 2019 and 9.0% and to decrease gradually to 4.75% in 2019, respectively. A one-percentage point change in the assumed health care cost trend rates would have the following annual effects:

	1-Percentage Point Increase		1-Percentage Point Decrease
	(in thousands)
Effect on total service and interest cost for the year ended December 31, 2012	$	3,795	$	(2,928	)
Effect on postretirement benefit obligation at December 31, 2012	30,700		(24,408		)

Plan Assets

The Company develops the expected long-term rate of return assumption based on historical experience and by evaluating input from the trustee managing the plan’s assets, including the trustee’s review of asset class return expectations by several consultants and economists, as well as long-term inflation assumptions. The Company’s expected long-term rate of return on plan assets is based on a target allocation of assets, which is based on the goal of earning the highest rate of return while maintaining risk at acceptable levels. The plan strives to have assets sufficiently diversified so that adverse or unexpected results from security class will not have an unduly detrimental impact on the entire portfolio. The actual allocation of our pension plan assets, target allocation of assets by category and the expected long-term rate of return by category at December 31, 2012 are as follows:

	Asset Allocation				Expected Long-Term
	2012		Target		Rate of Return
Equity securities—Domestic	36	%	32	%	7.53	%
Equity securities—Foreign	28	%	33	%	7.50	%
Fixed Income Securities	36	%	35	%	2.50	%

As discussed in Note 3—Fair Value Measurements, ASC 820 establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:

Level 1—Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

Level 2—Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term for the assets or liabilities; and

Level 3—Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

The table below presents the Company’s pension plan and other postretirement plan investments (excluding cash) as of December 31, 2012 and 2011:

Common stocks, preferred stock and other equities.  These investments are valued at the closing price reported on the active market on which the individual securities are traded.

Equity.  The Company invests in the Blackrock S&P 500 Fund and Thornburg International Equity Fund. The investment objective is to obtain a reasonable rate of return while investing principally or entirely in foreign or domestic equity securities. There are currently no redemption restrictions on these investments. The fair value of the investments in this category has been estimated using the net asset value per share.

Fixed income fund.  The investment objective of the PIMCO Total Return Fund is to obtain a reasonable rate of return while principally investing in foreign or domestic bonds. There are currently no redemption restrictions on these investments. The fair value of the investments in this category has been estimated using the net asset value per share.

Insurance Company Pooled Separate Account.  The investment objective of the Insurance Company Pooled Separate Account is to invest in short-term cash equivalent securities to provide a high current income consistent with the preservation of principal and liquidity. The fair value of the investments in this category has been estimated using the net asset value per share.

Common collective trust (CCT).  The Company invests in the Short Term Investment fund, the Balanced Profile fund and the Conservative Profile fund. The investment objective of the Short Term Investment Fund is to obtain a reasonable rate of return while investing, principally or entirely, in foreign or domestic bonds, debentures, mortgages, equipment or other trust certificates, notes obligations issued by or guaranteed by the United States Government or its agencies, bank certificates of deposit, bankers’ acceptances and repurchase agreements, high grade commercial paper and other instruments with money market characteristics with a fixed or variable interest rate. The Balanced Profile Fund is designed for participating trusts that seek substantial capital growth, place modest emphasis on short-term stability, have long-term investment objectives, and accept short-term volatility in the value of the fund’s portfolio. The Conservative Profile is designed for participating trusts that place modest emphasis on capital growth, place moderate emphasis on short-term stability, have intermediate-to-long-term investment objectives, and accept moderate short-term volatility in the value of the fund’s portfolio. There are currently no redemption restrictions on these investments. The fair value of the investments in this category has been estimated using the net asset value per share.

25

Fixed income securities and real estate investment trusts.  These investments are valued based on quoted prices for similar assets in active markets.

Forward contracts.  Forward contracts consist of foreign currency forward contracts which represent commitments either to purchase or sell foreign currencies at a specified future date and at a specific price. These investments are valued based on quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets.

Cash equivalents.  The fund’s objective is to seek a high level of current income while maintaining both capital and liquidity. The carrying amount of the fund is equivalent to its fair value due to the short-term nature of the fund.

The Company made contributions of $19.4 million and $12.9 million in 2012 and 2011, respectively, to its defined benefit pension plans and disability plan. Based on current legislation and current assumptions, the minimum required contribution that the Company is required to make to Hawaiian’s defined benefit pension plans and disability plan during 2013 is $14.7 million. The Company projects that Hawaiian’s pension plans and other postretirement benefit plans will make the following benefit payments, which reflect expected future service, for the years ended December 31:

			Other Benefits
	Pension Benefits		Gross		Expected Federal Subsidy

Defined Contribution Plans

The Company also sponsors separate defined contribution plans (401(k)) for its pilots, flight attendants and ground and salaried personnel. Depending upon the employee group, employer contributions consist of matching contributions based on percentages ranging from 2% to 5.04% for employer contributions and 0% to 5% for matching contributions (excludes pilots which are awarded based on target benefit contributions) of eligible earnings or participant contributions depending on the terms of each plan. Contributions to the Company’s defined contribution plans were $21.3 million, $18.5 million, and $16.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

10. Capital Stock and Share-based Compensation

Common Stock

The Company has one class of common stock issued and outstanding. Each share of common stock is entitled to one vote per share.

No dividends were paid by the Company during the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010. Provisions in certain of the Company’s aircraft lease agreements restrict the Company’s ability to pay dividends.

Special Preferred Stock

The IAM, AFA, and ALPA each hold one share of Special Preferred Stock, which entitles each union to nominate one director to the Company’s Board of Directors. In addition, each series of the Special Preferred Stock, unless otherwise specified: (i) ranks senior to the Company’s common stock and ranks pari passu with such series of Special Preferred Stock with respect to liquidation, dissolution and winding up of the Company and will be entitled to receive $0.01 per share before any payments are made, or assets distributed to holders of any stock ranking junior to the Special Preferred Stock; (ii) has no dividend rights unless a dividend is declared and paid on the Company’s common stock, in which case the Special Preferred Stock would be entitled to receive a dividend in an amount per share equal to two times the dividend per share paid on the common stock; (iii) is entitled to one vote per share of such series and votes with the common stock as a single class on all matters submitted to holders of the Company’s common stock; and (iv) automatically converts into the Company’s common stock on a 1:1 basis, at such time as such shares are transferred or such holders are no longer entitled to nominate a representative to the Company’s Board of Directors pursuant to their respective collective bargaining agreements.

26

Share-Based Compensation

The Company has a stock compensation plan for its and its subsidiaries’ officers, other employees, contractors, consultants and non-employee directors. Total share-based compensation expense recognized by the Company under ASC 718 was $3.4 million, $4.3 million and $5.0 million for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively. As of December 31, 2012, $4.6 million of share-based compensation expense related to unvested stock options and other awards (inclusive of $0.3 million for stock options and other awards granted to non-employee directors) is attributable to future performance and has not yet been recognized. The related expense will be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 1.3 years.

Performance and Market-Based Stock Awards

During 2012, the Company granted performance-based and market-based awards covering 507,817 shares of Company Common Stock (the Target Award) with a maximum payout of 755,175 shares of Common Stock (the Maximum Award) to employees pursuant to the Company’s 2005 Stock Incentive Plan. These awards vest over a period of three years. The Company valued the performance-based awards using grant date fair values equal to the Company’s share price on the measurement date and the market-based awards using a lattice model.

The following table summarizes information about performance and market-based stock awards:

	Number of units		Weighted average grant date fair value
Non-vested at December 31, 2011	734,563		$	6.34
Granted during the period	507,817		6.00

These awards vest over a period of one to three years and have a grant date fair value equal to the Company’s share price on the measurement date.

The following table summarizes information about outstanding time-based stock awards:

	Number of units		Weighted average grant date fair value
Non-vested at December 31, 2011	546,543		$	6.11

11. Commitments and Contingent Liabilities

Commitments

As of December 31, 2012, the Company had capital commitments consisting of firm aircraft orders for thirteen wide-body Airbus A330-200 aircraft, six Airbus A350XWB-800 aircraft and four Rolls Royce spare engines scheduled for delivery through 2020. The Company has purchase rights for an additional three A330-200 aircraft and six A350XWB-800 aircraft and can utilize these rights subject to production availability. In January 2013, the Company signed a memorandum of understanding for the purchase of 16 new Airbus A321neo aircraft for delivery between 2017 and 2020, with rights to purchase an additional nine aircraft (excluded from the table below). The Company plans to execute a purchase agreement in the first quarter of 2013.

27

The Company has operating commitments with a third-party to provide aircraft maintenance services which include fixed payments as well as variable payments based on flight hours for our Airbus fleet through 2027. The Company also has operating commitments with third-party service providers for reservations, IT, and accounting services through 2017.

Committed capital and operating expenditures include escalation and variable amounts based on estimated forecasts. The gross committed expenditures for upcoming aircraft deliveries and committed financings for those deliveries for the next five years and thereafter are detailed below as of the date of this Report:

	Capital		Operating		Total Commited Expenditures		Less: Committed Financing for Upcoming Aircraft Deliveries*		Net Committed Expenditures

Thereafter	457,050		232,430		689,480		—		689,480

*See below for a detailed discussion of the committed financings Hawaiian has received for its upcoming capital commitments for aircraft deliveries.

Airbus A330-200 Facility Agreement Commitments

Hawaiian has commitments for two separate secured loan agreements, entered into during the second half of 2012, totaling $132 million to finance a portion of the capital commitments for two upcoming Airbus A330-200 aircraft deliveries in the first half of 2013. These loan agreements have a term of ten years with quarterly principal and interest payments. One of the loan agreements will bear interest under a variable-rate with a $7 million balloon payment due at maturity, and the other will bear interest under a fixed-rate with a $10 million balloon payment due at maturity.

The anticipated future principal payments and commitment fees for these facility agreements, not included in the table above, is approximately $8.8 million in 2013, $10.8 million in 2014, $11.0 million in 2015, $11.3 million in 2016, $11.6 million in 2017 and $80.4 million thereafter.

Purchase Aircraft Lease Financing Agreement

Hawaiian has a commitment to assign its purchase of two Airbus A330-200 aircraft at delivery and simultaneously enter into lease agreements for the respective aircraft with scheduled delivery dates during the first half of 2013 with total committed lease financing of $180 million. Both the gross capital commitment for the cost of the aircraft and the committed financing are shown in the table above. The lease agreements have initial lease terms of twelve years with the option to extend an additional two years. Rent under each lease is payable monthly at a fixed rate to be determined at delivery of each aircraft. The Company will determine whether these leases will be classified as capital or operating leases in the period it takes delivery of each aircraft.

The anticipated future payments for these leases, not included in the table above, is approximately $15.3 million for 2013, $18.4 million in 2014, $18.4 million in 2015, $18.4 million in 2016, $18.4 million in 2017 and $131.6 million thereafter.

Litigation and Contingencies

The Company is subject to legal proceedings arising in the normal course of its operations. Management does not anticipate that the disposition of any currently pending proceeding will have a material effect on the Company’s operations, business or financial condition.

General Guarantees and Indemnifications

In the normal course of business, the Company enters into numerous aircraft financing and real estate leasing arrangements that have various guarantees included in the contract. It is common in such lease transactions for the lessee to agree to indemnify the lessor and other related third-parties for tort liabilities that arise out of or relate to the lessee’s use of the leased aircraft or occupancy of the leased premises. In some cases, this indemnity extends to related liabilities arising from the

28

negligence of the indemnified parties, but usually excludes any liabilities caused by their gross negligence or willful misconduct. Additionally, the lessee typically indemnifies such parties for any environmental liability that arises out of or relates to its use of the real estate leased premises. The Company believes that it is covered by insurance (subject to deductibles) for most tort liabilities and related indemnities described above with respect to the aircraft and real estate that it leases. The Company cannot estimate the potential amount of future payments, if any, under the foregoing indemnities and agreements.

Credit Card Holdback

Under the Company’s bank-issued credit card processing agreements, certain proceeds from advance ticket sales may be held back to serve as collateral to cover any possible chargebacks or other disputed charges that may occur. These holdbacks, which are included in restricted cash in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets, totaled $5.0 million at December 31, 2012 and $30.9 million at December 31, 2011. There were no amounts subject to this holdback at December 31, 2012. As of December 31, 2011, the holdback was 25% of the applicable credit card air traffic liability.

In October 2012, the Company entered into an amendment with its largest credit card processor that eliminates the financial triggers for additional holdbacks. In the event of a material adverse change in the business, the holdback could increase to an amount up to 100% of the applicable credit card air traffic liability, which would also cause an increase in the level of restricted cash. If the Company is unable to obtain a waiver of, or otherwise mitigate the increase in restriction of cash, it could also cause a covenant violation under other debt or lease obligations and have a material adverse impact on the Company.

12. Geographic Information

The Company’s primary operations are that of its wholly-owned subsidiary, Hawaiian. Principally all operations of Hawaiian either originate and/or end in the State of Hawaii. The management of such operations is based on a system-wide approach due to the interdependence of Hawaiian’s route structure in its various markets. As Hawaiian offers only one significant line of business (i.e., air transportation), management has concluded that it has only one segment. The Company’s chief operating decision maker allocates operational resources to maximize the Company’s consolidated financial results.

Revenues from other lines of business are below the quantitative threshold for segment reporting and consist of revenues from Hawaiian Gifts, LLC. The difference between the financial information of the Company’s one reportable segment and financial information included in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations as a result of this entity is not significant.

The Company’s operating revenues by geographic region (as defined by the Department of Transportation, DOT) are summarized below:

	Year Ended December 31,
	2012		2011		2010
	(in thousands)
Domestic	$	1,378,498	$	1,272,196	$	1,177,474
Pacific	583,855		378,263		132,619
Total operating revenue	$	1,962,353	$	1,650,459	$	1,310,093

Hawaiian attributes operating revenue by geographic region based upon the origin and destination of each flight segment. Hawaiian’s tangible assets consist primarily of flight equipment, which are mobile across geographic markets, and, therefore, have not been allocated to specific geographic regions.

13. Condensed Consolidating Financial Statements

The Company presents this condensed consolidating financial information in accordance with Regulation S-X paragraph 210.3-10 because Hawaiian Airlines, Inc. (Hawaiian or Subsidiary Issuer / Guarantor), a wholly owned subsidiary of Hawaiian Holdings, Inc. (the Company or Parent Issuer / Guarantor), will be a registrant on a registration statement on Form S-3 to be jointly filed by Hawaiian Holdings, Inc. and Hawaiian Airlines, Inc.  Hawaiian Holdings, Inc. will fully and unconditionally guarantee any securities issued by Hawaiian Airlines, Inc. under the registration statement, and Hawaiian Airlines, Inc. may fully and unconditionally guarantee any securities issued by Hawaiian Holdings, Inc. under the registration statement.

29

Also, in accordance with Regulation S-X paragraph 210.5-04 (c), the Company is required to report condensed financial information as a result of restrictions in Hawaiian’s debt agreements.  The Company’s condensed consolidating financial information satisfies this requirement.

Condensed consolidating financial statements are presented in the following tables:

Certain Restrictions on Subsidiary Distributions, Dividends and Repurchases

The Company and Hawaiian are party to an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (Credit Agreement), dated as of December 10, 2010, that provides for a Revolving Credit Facility.  See further discussion of the Revolving Credit Facility at Note 6 — Debt to the consolidated financial statements.  The Credit Agreement provides that, subject to certain exceptions, neither Hawaiian nor any other subsidiary of the Company will make any distribution or other payment on account of, or declare or pay any dividend on, or purchase, acquire, redeem or retire any stock issued by Hawaiian or any other subsidiary of the Company. The exceptions include (i) distributions by Hawaiian to the Company for the purpose of allowing the Company to pay federal and state income and franchise taxes, (ii) distributions by Hawaiian to the Company to pay customary costs and expenses of operating a publicly traded company in an aggregate amount in any year not to exceed $10.0 million, and (iii) so long as no event of default has occurred and is continuing or would result therefrom, distributions by Hawaiian to the Company for the purpose of making regularly scheduled interest payments on specified indebtedness of the Company.  In addition, the Credit Agreement restricts the ability of Hawaiian and the other subsidiaries of the Company from making loans or advances to the Company.  The net assets of Hawaiian restricted under the Credit Agreement, defined as shareholders’ equity, totaled $178.8 million and $125.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Long-Term Debt

The long-term debt included in the Parent Issuer/Guarantor column represents the Convertible Note described in Note 6 - Debt to the consolidated financial statements.

Income Taxes

The income tax expense (benefit) is presented as if each entity that is part of the consolidated group files a separate return. Previous disclosures of Parent Company information included its tax benefit within undistributed net income of subsidiaries.

In the fourth quarter of 2012, the Company recorded a net frequent flyer pre-tax adjustment of $7.3 million to correct an error in the Company’s accounting for its sale of mileage credits to companies participating in the Company’s frequent flyer program that are deferred and recognized as passenger revenue. The correction resulted in a change in the deferral period from 19 to 22 months. The error primarily relates to prior periods and the impact of the error was not material to any prior period or the 2012 fiscal year.

In the second quarter of 2011, the Company entered into a purchase agreement with the lessor for the purchase of fifteen Boeing 717-200 aircraft. The excess of the purchase price paid over the fair value of the aircraft, which was $70.0 million, was recognized as a cost of terminating the leases and recorded on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The sum of the quarterly earnings per share amounts does not equal the annual amount reported since per share amounts are computed independently for each quarter and for the full year based on respective weighted-average common shares outstanding and other dilutive potential common shares.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)

12 Months Ended

Dec. 31, 2012

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, including its principal subsidiary, Hawaiian, through which the Company conducts substantially all of its operations. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.

Cash Equivalents

Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all investments with an original maturity of three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents.

Restricted Cash

Restricted Cash

At December 31, 2012 and 2011, restricted cash primarily consist of cash deposits held by institutions that process credit card transactions.

Spare Parts and Supplies

Spare Parts and Supplies

Spare parts and supplies are valued at average cost, and primarily consist of expendable parts for flight equipment and other supplies. An allowance for obsolescence of expendable parts is provided over the estimated useful lives of the related aircraft and engines for spare parts expected to be on hand at the date the aircraft are retired from service. An allowance is also provided to reduce the carrying amount of excess spare parts to the lower of cost or net realizable value. These allowances are based on management's estimates and are subject to change.

Property, Equipment and Depreciation

Property, Equipment and Depreciation

Property and equipment are stated at cost and depreciated on a straight-line basis to its estimated residual value over the asset's estimated useful life. Depreciation begins when the asset is placed into service. Aircraft and related parts begin depreciating on the aircraft's first revenue flight.

Estimated useful lives and residual values of property and equipment are as follows:

Boeing 717-200 aircraft and engines	7 - 11 years, 7 - 34% residual value
Boeing 767-300 aircraft and engines	7 - 20 years, 0 - 10% residual value
Airbus A330-200 aircraft and engines	25 years, 10% residual value
Aircraft under capital leases	8 - 12 years, no residual value
Major rotable parts	Average lease term or useful life for related aircraft, 10% - 15% residual value
Improvements to leased flight equipment	Shorter of lease term or useful life
Facility leasehold improvements	Shorter of lease term, including assumed lease renewals when renewal is economically compelled at key airports or useful life
Furniture, fixtures and other equipment	3 - 7 years, no residual value
Capitalized software	3 - 7 years, no residual value

Additions and modifications that significantly enhance the operating performance and/or extend the useful lives of property and equipment are capitalized and depreciated over the lesser of the remaining useful life of the asset or the remaining lease term, as applicable. Expenditures that do not improve or extend asset lives are charged to expense as incurred. Pre-delivery deposits are capitalized when paid.

Aircraft under capital leases are recorded at an amount equal to the present value of minimum lease payments utilizing our incremental borrowing rate at lease inception and amortized on a straight-line basis over the lesser of the remaining useful life of the aircraft or the lease term. The amortization is recorded in depreciation and amortization expense on the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

The Company capitalizes certain costs related to the acquisition and development of computer software and amortizes these costs using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the software. The net book value of computer software, which is included in Other property and equipment on our consolidated balance sheets, was $15.4 million and $16.0 million at December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Amortization expense related to computer software was $7.7 million, $5.9 million and $6.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Aircraft Maintenance and Repair Costs

Aircraft Maintenance and Repair Costs

Aircraft maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred, except for charges for maintenance and repairs under power-by-the-hour maintenance contracts which are accrued and expensed when a contractual obligation exists, generally on the basis of hours flown.

The Company accounts for nonrefundable maintenance deposits as an asset until any portion of the estimated total amount of the deposit is less than probable of being returned on leased aircraft. In addition, payments of maintenance deposits that are not "substantially and contractually related to the maintenance of the lease assets" are expensed as incurred. Any costs not expected to be recoverable are considered to be not "substantially and contractually related to maintenance of the lease asset." Therefore, the Company bifurcates deposit payments and expenses the proportionate share that is estimated to not be recoverable from existing and future nonrefundable deposits.

Goodwill and Indefinite-lived Intangible Assets

Goodwill and Indefinite-lived Intangible Assets

Goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives are not amortized, but are tested for impairment at least annually using a "two-step process" under Accounting Standard Codification (ASC) Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (ASC 350). In the first step, the fair value of the Company's reporting unit is compared to its carrying value. If the fair value of the Company's reporting unit exceeds the carrying value of its net assets, goodwill is not impaired and no further testing is required. If the carrying value of the net assets of the Company's reporting unit exceeds its fair value, then the second step of the impairment test must be performed in order to determine the implied fair value of the Company's reporting unit. If the carrying value of the goodwill exceeds its implied fair value, then an impairment loss for the difference is recorded.

For its annual goodwill impairment test, the Company performed the first step under ASC 350 and concluded that as of October 1, 2012, the carrying value of its Goodwill was not impaired.

For its annual intangible asset impairment test, the Company adopted the provisions of ASU 2012-02, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other: Testing Indefinite—Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment, which amends ASC 350 and allows a Company to first assess qualitative factors, to determine whether or not it is necessary to perform the quantitative test for testing indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment outlined in ASC 350. Management has concluded that as of October 1, 2012, there was no impairment of its indefinite-lived intangible asset.

In the event that the Company determines that the values of goodwill or indefinite-lived intangible assets have become impaired, the Company will incur an accounting charge during the period in which such determination is made. There were no impairments recorded in 2012, 2011 and 2010.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Finite-lived Intangible Assets

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Finite-lived Intangible Assets

Long-lived assets used in operations, consisting principally of property and equipment and finite-lived intangible assets, are tested for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate, in management's judgment, that the assets might be impaired and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than its carrying amount. When testing for impairment, management considers market trends, the expected useful lives of the assets, changes in economic conditions, recent transactions involving sales of similar assets and, if necessary, estimates of future discounted cash flows. If, at any time, management determines the net carrying value of an asset is not recoverable, the amount is reduced to its fair value during the period in which such determination is made. Any changes in the estimated useful lives of these assets will be accounted for prospectively. There were no impairments to long-lived and finite-lived intangible assets, nor was there a need to adjust the remaining useful lives of these assets in 2012, 2011 and 2010.

Leased Aircraft Return Costs

Leased Aircraft Return Costs

Costs associated with returning leased aircraft are accrued when it is probable that a cash payment will be made and that amount is reasonably estimable. Any accrual is based on the time remaining on the lease, planned aircraft usage and the provisions included in the lease agreement, although the actual amount due to any lessor upon return will not be known with certainty until lease termination.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue Recognition

Passenger revenue is recognized either when the transportation is provided or when tickets expire unused. The value of passenger tickets for future travel is included as air traffic liability.

Various taxes and fees assessed on the sale of tickets to end customers are collected by the Company as an agent and remitted to taxing authorities. These taxes and fees have been presented on a net basis in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations and recorded as a liability until remitted to the appropriate taxing authority.

Other operating revenue include checked baggage revenue, cargo revenue, ticket change and cancellation fees, charter revenue, ground handling fees, commissions and fees earned under certain joint marketing agreements with other companies, inflight revenue and other incidental sales.

Baggage fees, cargo and charter revenue are recognized when the transportation is provided. Ticket change and cancellation fees are recognized at the time the fees are assessed. All other revenue is recognized as revenue when the related goods and services are provided.

Frequent Flyer Program

Frequent Flyer Program

HawaiianMiles, Hawaiian's frequent flyer travel award program, provides a variety of awards to program members based on accumulated mileage. The Company utilizes the incremental cost method of accounting for free travel awards issued from the HawaiianMiles program. The Company records a liability for the estimated incremental cost of providing travel awards that are expected to be redeemed on Hawaiian or the contractual rate of expected redemption on partner airlines. The Company estimates the incremental cost of travel awards based on periodic studies of actual costs and applies these cost estimates to all issued miles, less an appropriate breakage factor for estimated miles that will not be redeemed. Incremental cost includes the costs of fuel, meals and beverages, insurance and certain other passenger traffic-related costs, but does not include any costs for aircraft ownership and maintenance. The breakage factor is estimated based on an analysis of historical expirations.

The Company also sells mileage credits to companies participating in our frequent flyer program. These sales are accounted for as multiple-element arrangements, with one element representing the travel that will ultimately be provided when the mileage credits are redeemed and the other consisting of marketing related activities that we conduct with the participating company. The estimated fair value of the transportation portion of these mileage credits is deferred and recognized as passenger revenue over the period when transportation is expected to be provided (currently estimated at 22 months). Amounts received in excess of the expected transportation's fair value are recognized immediately as other revenue at the time of sale as compensation for marketing services performed. The estimated fair value of the air transportation component is based on several factors, including the equivalent ticket value of similar Company fares and customer habits in redeeming free travel awards.

Under the programs of certain participating companies, credits are accumulated in accounts maintained by the participating company and then transferred into a member's HawaiianMiles account for immediate redemption of free travel awards. For those transactions, revenue is amortized over the period during which the mileage is projected to be used (currently estimated at five months).

On a periodic basis, we review and update the assumptions used in our frequent flyer accounting. On an annual basis, we update the deferral period and deferral rate for mileage credits sold to participating companies. We also update the incremental cost assumption quarterly and the breakage rate assumption annually for free travel awards earned in connection with the purchase of passenger tickets.

Commissions and Other Selling Expenses

Commissions and Other Selling Expenses

Commissions and other selling expenses include credit card commissions, the costs incurred to provide flights and other awards provided by HawaiianMiles, advertising and promotional expenses and computer reservation system charges, as well as commissions paid to outside agents for the sales of passenger and cargo traffic. Sales commissions are deferred when paid and are subsequently recognized as expense when the related revenue is recognized. Prepaid sales commissions are included in prepaid expenses and other current assets in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. All other components of commissions and other selling expenses, including advertising costs, are expensed when incurred. Advertising expense was $11.2 million, $9.2 million and $11.0 million for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011, and 2010, respectively.

Capitalized Interest

Capitalized Interest

Interest is capitalized upon acquisition of aircraft and engines, which include any interest related to predelivery deposits and interest incurred for significant modifications made to the aircraft, and is depreciated over the estimated useful life of the asset from service inception date. The rate at which interest is capitalized is based on the Company's weighted-average borrowing rate, which was 7.0%, 6.6% and 7.0% during 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Earnings (Loss) Per Share

Earnings (Loss) Per Share

Basic earnings (loss) per share, which excludes dilution, is computed by dividing net income or loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period.

Diluted earnings (loss) per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock.

In 2010, 1.5 million outstanding warrants expired unexercised.

(2)

In March 2011, the Company entered into a Convertible Note transaction which included the sale of convertible notes, purchase of convertible note hedges and the sale of warrants. See Note 6—Debt for further discussion. These weighted common stock equivalents were excluded because their conversion price of $7.88 per share for the convertible notes and $10.00 for the warrants exceeded the average market price of our common stock during these periods, and the effect of their inclusion would be antidilutive. These securities could be dilutive in future periods. The convertible note hedges will always be antidilutive and, therefore, will have no effect on diluted earnings per share.

Stock Compensation Plans

Stock Compensation Plans

The Company has a stock compensation plan for it and its subsidiaries' officers, consultants and non-employee directors. The Company accounts for stock compensation awards under ASC 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation, which requires companies to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the fair value of such awards on the dates they are granted. The fair value of the awards are estimated using the following: (1) option-pricing models for grants of stock options, (2) Monte Carlo simulations for restricted stock units with a market condition, or (3) fair value at the measurement date (usually the grant date) for awards of stock subject to time and / or performance-based vesting. The resultant cost is recognized as compensation expense over the period of time during which an employee is required to provide services to the Company (the service period) in exchange for the award, the service period generally being the vesting period of the award.

In accordance with ASC 718, the Company records benefits of tax deductions in excess of recognized stock compensation expense as financing cash flows.

Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements

Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Bureau (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update 2011-05, Comprehensive Income—Presentation of Comprehensive Income (ASU 2011-05). This update changes the requirements for the presentation of other comprehensive income, eliminating the option to present components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholders' equity, amongst other things. ASU 2011-05 requires that all nonowner changes in stockholders' equity be presented in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. These amendments are effective for fiscal years and interim period beginning after December 15, 2011 and should be applied retrospectively. The Company adopted this guidance during the quarter ended March 31, 2012 and the two-statement approach is presented within this report.

In May 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2011-04, Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs (ASU 2011-04). ASU 2011-04 amended Accounting ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (ASC 820), to converge the fair value measurement guidance in U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs). Some of the amendments clarify the application of existing fair value measurement requirements, while other amendments change a particular principle in ASC 820. In addition, ASU 2011-04 requires additional fair value disclosures. The amendments are to be applied prospectively and are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company adopted this guidance during the quarter ended March 31, 2012.

In July 2012, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2012-02, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other Testing Indefinite—Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment (ASU 2012-02). ASU 2012-02 amended ASC 350, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other, to allow an entity the option to first assess the qualitative factors in testing indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment, to determine whether or not it is necessary to perform the quantitative impairment test originally outlined in ASC 350. This amendment is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after September 15, 2012 and is to be applied prospectively. The Company adopted this guidance during its annual intangible asset impairment test for the year ended December 31, 2012.

Certain Restrictions on Subsidiary Distributions, Dividends and Repurchases

The Company and Hawaiian are party to an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (Credit Agreement), dated as of December 10, 2010, that provides for a Revolving Credit Facility.  See further discussion of the Revolving Credit Facility at Note 6 — Debt to the consolidated financial statements.  The Credit Agreement provides that, subject to certain exceptions, neither Hawaiian nor any other subsidiary of the Company will make any distribution or other payment on account of, or declare or pay any dividend on, or purchase, acquire, redeem or retire any stock issued by Hawaiian or any other subsidiary of the Company. The exceptions include (i) distributions by Hawaiian to the Company for the purpose of allowing the Company to pay federal and state income and franchise taxes, (ii) distributions by Hawaiian to the Company to pay customary costs and expenses of operating a publicly traded company in an aggregate amount in any year not to exceed $10.0 million, and (iii) so long as no event of default has occurred and is continuing or would result therefrom, distributions by Hawaiian to the Company for the purpose of making regularly scheduled interest payments on specified indebtedness of the Company.  In addition, the Credit Agreement restricts the ability of Hawaiian and the other subsidiaries of the Company from making loans or advances to the Company.  The net assets of Hawaiian restricted under the Credit Agreement, defined as shareholders’ equity, totaled $178.8 million and $125.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Long-Term Debt

The long-term debt included in the Parent Issuer/Guarantor column represents the Convertible Note described in Note 6 - Debt to the consolidated financial statements.

Income tax expense (benefit)	$	32,549	$	1,567		$	(28,266	)

Cash payments (refunds) for income taxes were ($16.9) million, ($21.3) million and $26.0 million for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively. As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company recorded income taxes receivable of $4.0 and $23.5 million respectively, for overpayments and net operating loss carrybacks.

The income tax expense (benefit) differed from amounts computed at the statutory federal income tax rate as follows:

During 2010, as a result of its continued positive earnings, as well as positive forecasted earnings in the future, and certain tax planning strategies, management concluded that it was more likely than not that the Company would realize its deferred tax assets, and therefore, the Company released its remaining valuation allowance which amounted to approximately $57.5 million.

The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income (including the reversals of deferred tax liabilities) during the periods in which those deferred tax assets will become deductible. The Company's management assesses the realizability of its deferred tax assets, and records a valuation allowance when it is more likely than not that a portion, or all, of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. As result of positive forecasted earnings in the future and certain tax planning strategies, management concluded that it was more likely than not that the Company will realize its deferred tax assets, and therefore, the Company has not recorded a valuation allowance as of December 31, 2012.

The components of the Company's deferred tax assets and liabilities as of December 31, 2012 and 2011 were as follows:

	December 31,

At December 31, 2012, the Company had available for federal income tax purposes an alternative minimum tax credit carryforward of approximately $5.9 million, which is available for an indefinite period, and federal and a state net operating loss carryforward of $232.0 million. The tax benefit of the net operating loss carryforwards as of December 31, 2012 is $75.2 million, substantially all of which will not begin to expire until 2031.

In accordance with ASC 740, the Company reviews its uncertain tax positions on an ongoing basis. The Company may be required to adjust its liability as these matters are finalized, which could increase or decrease its income tax expense and effective income tax rates or result in an adjustment to the valuation allowance. The Company does not expect that the unrecognized tax benefit related to uncertain tax positions will significantly change within the next twelve months.

The table below reconciles beginning and ending amounts of unrecognized tax benefits related to uncertain tax positions:

The Company records interest and penalties relating to unrecognized tax benefits in other nonoperating expense in its Consolidated Statements of Operations. Interest and penalties amounted to none, none and $0.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The Company recorded an offset to interest expense of none, $0.6 million and $1.4 million during the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The Company had no accrued interest and penalties at December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

The Company files its tax returns as prescribed by the tax laws of the jurisdictions in which it operates. The Company's federal income tax returns for tax years 2010 and beyond remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS"). The IRS commenced examination of the Company's federal income tax return for 2010 in the third quarter of 2012. As of December 31, 2012, the IRS had not proposed any adjustments to the Company's return. The IRS concluded its examination of the Company's federal income tax returns for the 2009 tax year in the third quarter of 2012. The Company is not currently under audit in any other taxing jurisdiction in which it operates and the related state and local income tax returns remain open to examination. The Company believes, however, that any potential assessment in these jurisdictions would be immaterial.

9. Employee Benefit Plans

Defined Benefit Plans

Hawaiian sponsors various defined benefit pension plans covering the Air Line Pilots Association, International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers (AFL-CIO) (IAM) and other personnel (salaried, Transport Workers Union, Network Engineering Group). The plans for the IAM and other employees were frozen in exchange for defined contribution plans in prior years. Effective January 1, 2008, benefit accruals for pilots under age 50 as of July 1, 2005 were frozen and Hawaiian began making contributions to an alternate defined contribution retirement program for pilots. All of the pilots' accrued benefits under their defined benefit plan at the date of the freeze were preserved, but there are no further benefit accruals subsequent to the date of the freeze (with the exception of certain pilots who were both age 50 and older and participants of the plan on July 1, 2005). In addition, Hawaiian sponsors four unfunded defined benefit postretirement medical and life insurance plans and a separate plan to administer the pilots' disability benefits.

The following tables summarize changes to projected benefit obligations, plan assets, funded status and applicable amounts included in the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 31, 2012 and 2011:

The following actuarial assumptions were used to determine the net periodic benefit expense and the projected benefit obligation at December 31:

	Pension						Postretirement						Disability
	2012			2011			2012			2011			2012			2011
Weighted average assumption used to determine net periodic benefit expense and projected benefit obligations:
Discount rate to determine net periodic benefit expense		4.94	%		5.71	%		5.14	%		5.81	%		4.91	%		5.59	%
Discount rate to determine projected benefit obligation		4.10	%		4.94	%		4.24	%		5.14	%		4.06	%		4.91	%
Expected return on plan assets		7.30	%++		7.90	%		N/A			N/A			6.90	%++		7.50	%
Rate of compensation increase		Various	+		Various	+		N/A			N/A			Various	+		Various	+

+

Differs for each pilot based on current fleet and seat position on the aircraft and seniority service. Negotiated salary increases and expected changes in fleet and seat positions on the aircraft are included in the assumed rate of compensation increase which range from 1.5% to 7.50% in 2012 and 2.0% to 7.5% in 2011.

++

Expected return on plan assets used to determine the net periodic benefit expense for 2013 will be 6.55% for Pension and 6.15% for Disability.

Estimated amounts that will be amortized from accumulated other comprehensive income into net periodic benefit cost in 2013 are $5.1 million and $3.1 million in pension benefits and other postretirement benefits, respectively. Amounts are generally amortized into accumulated other comprehensive income over the average future service to expected retirement age (exception: Salaried and IAM pension plans use average expected future lifetime of plan participants).

At December 31, 2012 and 2011, the health care cost trend rate used to determine the net periodic expense was assumed to be 9.0% and to decrease gradually to 4.75% in 2019. At December 31, 2012 and 2011, the health care cost trend rate used to determine the projected benefit obligation was assumed to be 8.0% and to decrease gradually to 4.75% in 2019 and 9.0% and to decrease gradually to 4.75% in 2019, respectively. A one-percentage point change in the assumed health care cost trend rates would have the following annual effects:

	1-Percentage Point Increase		1-Percentage Point Decrease
	(in thousands)
Effect on total service and interest cost for the year ended December 31, 2012	$	3,795	$	(2,928	)
Effect on postretirement benefit obligation at December 31, 2012		30,700		(24,408	)

Plan Assets

The Company develops the expected long-term rate of return assumption based on historical experience and by evaluating input from the trustee managing the plan's assets, including the trustee's review of asset class return expectations by several consultants and economists, as well as long-term inflation assumptions. The Company's expected long-term rate of return on plan assets is based on a target allocation of assets, which is based on the goal of earning the highest rate of return while maintaining risk at acceptable levels. The plan strives to have assets sufficiently diversified so that adverse or unexpected results from security class will not have an unduly detrimental impact on the entire portfolio. The actual allocation of our pension plan assets, target allocation of assets by category and the expected long-term rate of return by category at December 31, 2012 are as follows:

	Asset Allocation
							Expected Long-Term Rate of Return
	2012			Target
Equity securities—Domestic		36	%		32	%		7.53	%
Equity securities—Foreign		28	%		33	%		7.50	%
Fixed Income Securities		36	%		35	%		2.50	%
		100	%		100	%

As discussed in Note 3—Fair Value Measurements, ASC 820 establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:

• Level 1—Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

  Level 2—Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term for the assets or liabilities; and

  Level 3—Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

Common stocks, preferred stock and other equities.    These investments are valued at the closing price reported on the active market on which the individual securities are traded.

Equity.    The Company invests in the Blackrock S&P 500 Fund and Thornburg International Equity Fund. The investment objective is to obtain a reasonable rate of return while investing principally or entirely in foreign or domestic equity securities. There are currently no redemption restrictions on these investments. The fair value of the investments in this category has been estimated using the net asset value per share.

Fixed income fund.    The investment objective of the PIMCO Total Return Fund is to obtain a reasonable rate of return while principally investing in foreign or domestic bonds. There are currently no redemption restrictions on these investments. The fair value of the investments in this category has been estimated using the net asset value per share.

Insurance Company Pooled Separate Account.    The investment objective of the Insurance Company Pooled Separate Account is to invest in short-term cash equivalent securities to provide a high current income consistent with the preservation of principal and liquidity. The fair value of the investments in this category has been estimated using the net asset value per share.

Common collective trust (CCT).    The Company invests in the Short Term Investment fund, the Balanced Profile fund and the Conservative Profile fund. The investment objective of the Short Term Investment Fund is to obtain a reasonable rate of return while investing, principally or entirely, in foreign or domestic bonds, debentures, mortgages, equipment or other trust certificates, notes obligations issued by or guaranteed by the United States Government or its agencies, bank certificates of deposit, bankers' acceptances and repurchase agreements, high grade commercial paper and other instruments with money market characteristics with a fixed or variable interest rate. The Balanced Profile Fund is designed for participating trusts that seek substantial capital growth, place modest emphasis on short-term stability, have long-term investment objectives, and accept short-term volatility in the value of the fund's portfolio. The Conservative Profile is designed for participating trusts that place modest emphasis on capital growth, place moderate emphasis on short-term stability, have intermediate-to-long-term investment objectives, and accept moderate short-term volatility in the value of the fund's portfolio. There are currently no redemption restrictions on these investments. The fair value of the investments in this category has been estimated using the net asset value per share.

Fixed income securities and real estate investment trusts.    These investments are valued based on quoted prices for similar assets in active markets.

Forward contracts.    Forward contracts consist of foreign currency forward contracts which represent commitments either to purchase or sell foreign currencies at a specified future date and at a specific price. These investments are valued based on quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets.

Cash equivalents.    The fund's objective is to seek a high level of current income while maintaining both capital and liquidity. The carrying amount of the fund is equivalent to its fair value due to the short-term nature of the fund.

The Company made contributions of $19.4 million and $12.9 million in 2012 and 2011, respectively, to its defined benefit pension plans and disability plan. Based on current legislation and current assumptions, the minimum required contribution that the Company is required to make to Hawaiian's defined benefit pension plans and disability plan during 2013 is $14.7 million. The Company projects that Hawaiian's pension plans and other postretirement benefit plans will make the following benefit payments, which reflect expected future service, for the years ended December 31:

Defined Contribution Plans

The Company also sponsors separate defined contribution plans (401(k)) for its pilots, flight attendants and ground and salaried personnel. Depending upon the employee group, employer contributions consist of matching contributions based on percentages ranging from 2% to 5.04% for employer contributions and 0% to 5% for matching contributions (excludes pilots which are awarded based on target benefit contributions) of eligible earnings or participant contributions depending on the terms of each plan. Contributions to the Company's defined contribution plans were $21.3 million, $18.5 million, and $16.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Fair Value Measurements

Fair Value Measurements

3. Fair Value Measurements

ASC 820 clarifies that fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. As a basis for considering such assumptions, ASC 820 establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:

Level 1	—	Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
Level 2	—	Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term for the assets or liabilities; and
Level 3	—	Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

The tables below present the Company's financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2012 and 2011:

Total liabilities measured at fair value	$	517	$	—	$	517	$	—

Cash equivalents.    The Company's cash equivalents consist of money market securities and are classified as Level 1 investments and are valued using inputs observable in markets for identical securities.

Long-term investments.    During the quarter ended September 30, 2010, the Company sold all of its remaining auction rate securities for $26.7 million and recognized a pre-tax gain of approximately $1 million through nonoperating income (expense). These assets were previously classified as level 3 investments and valued using unobservable inputs.

The reconciliation of our assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis using unobservable inputs (Level 3) for the year ended December 31, 2010 is as follows:

	Auction rate securities (Level 3)*
	(in thousands)
Balance as of December 31, 2009	$	29,921
Sale of long-term investments		(26,672	)

Realized net gains (losses):
Included in earnings		1,168
Reclassified from other comprehensive income		(1,186	)
Balance as of December 31, 2010	$	—

*

As of December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, there were no assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis using unobservable inputs (Level 3).

Fuel derivative contracts.    The Company's fuel derivative contracts consist of Brent and West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude oil call options and collars (a combination of call options and put options), and Brent put options and heating oil which are not traded on a public exchange. The fair value of these instruments is determined based on inputs available or derived from public markets including contractual terms, market prices, yield curve and measures of volatility among others.

The fair value of the Company's debt (excluding obligations under capital leases) with a carrying value of $554.6 million and $461.5 million at December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively, was approximately $547.9 million ($81.1 million as Level 2 and $466.8 million as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy) and $445.2 million ($66.4 million as Level 2 and $378.8 million as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy). The Company's fair value estimates were based on either market prices or the discounted amount of future cash flows using its current incremental rate of borrowing for similar liabilities.

The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, other receivables and accounts payable approximate their fair value due to their short-term nature.

The Company considers all investments with an original maturity of three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents.

Restricted Cash

At December 31, 2012 and 2011, restricted cash primarily consist of cash deposits held by institutions that process credit card transactions.

Spare Parts and Supplies

Spare parts and supplies are valued at average cost, and primarily consist of expendable parts for flight equipment and other supplies. An allowance for obsolescence of expendable parts is provided over the estimated useful lives of the related aircraft and engines for spare parts expected to be on hand at the date the aircraft are retired from service. An allowance is also provided to reduce the carrying amount of excess spare parts to the lower of cost or net realizable value. These allowances are based on management's estimates and are subject to change.

Property, Equipment and Depreciation

Property and equipment are stated at cost and depreciated on a straight-line basis to its estimated residual value over the asset's estimated useful life. Depreciation begins when the asset is placed into service. Aircraft and related parts begin depreciating on the aircraft's first revenue flight.

Estimated useful lives and residual values of property and equipment are as follows:

Boeing 717-200 aircraft and engines	7 - 11 years, 7 - 34% residual value
Boeing 767-300 aircraft and engines	7 - 20 years, 0 - 10% residual value
Airbus A330-200 aircraft and engines	25 years, 10% residual value
Aircraft under capital leases	8 - 12 years, no residual value
Major rotable parts	Average lease term or useful life for related aircraft, 10% - 15% residual value
Improvements to leased flight equipment	Shorter of lease term or useful life
Facility leasehold improvements	Shorter of lease term, including assumed lease renewals when renewal is economically compelled at key airports or useful life
Furniture, fixtures and other equipment	3 - 7 years, no residual value
Capitalized software	3 - 7 years, no residual value

Additions and modifications that significantly enhance the operating performance and/or extend the useful lives of property and equipment are capitalized and depreciated over the lesser of the remaining useful life of the asset or the remaining lease term, as applicable. Expenditures that do not improve or extend asset lives are charged to expense as incurred. Pre-delivery deposits are capitalized when paid.

Aircraft under capital leases are recorded at an amount equal to the present value of minimum lease payments utilizing our incremental borrowing rate at lease inception and amortized on a straight-line basis over the lesser of the remaining useful life of the aircraft or the lease term. The amortization is recorded in depreciation and amortization expense on the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

The Company capitalizes certain costs related to the acquisition and development of computer software and amortizes these costs using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the software. The net book value of computer software, which is included in Other property and equipment on our consolidated balance sheets, was $15.4 million and $16.0 million at December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Amortization expense related to computer software was $7.7 million, $5.9 million and $6.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Aircraft Maintenance and Repair Costs

Aircraft maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred, except for charges for maintenance and repairs under power-by-the-hour maintenance contracts which are accrued and expensed when a contractual obligation exists, generally on the basis of hours flown.

The Company accounts for nonrefundable maintenance deposits as an asset until any portion of the estimated total amount of the deposit is less than probable of being returned on leased aircraft. In addition, payments of maintenance deposits that are not "substantially and contractually related to the maintenance of the lease assets" are expensed as incurred. Any costs not expected to be recoverable are considered to be not "substantially and contractually related to maintenance of the lease asset." Therefore, the Company bifurcates deposit payments and expenses the proportionate share that is estimated to not be recoverable from existing and future nonrefundable deposits.

Goodwill and Indefinite-lived Intangible Assets

Goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives are not amortized, but are tested for impairment at least annually using a "two-step process" under Accounting Standard Codification (ASC) Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (ASC 350). In the first step, the fair value of the Company's reporting unit is compared to its carrying value. If the fair value of the Company's reporting unit exceeds the carrying value of its net assets, goodwill is not impaired and no further testing is required. If the carrying value of the net assets of the Company's reporting unit exceeds its fair value, then the second step of the impairment test must be performed in order to determine the implied fair value of the Company's reporting unit. If the carrying value of the goodwill exceeds its implied fair value, then an impairment loss for the difference is recorded.

For its annual goodwill impairment test, the Company performed the first step under ASC 350 and concluded that as of October 1, 2012, the carrying value of its Goodwill was not impaired.

For its annual intangible asset impairment test, the Company adopted the provisions of ASU 2012-02, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other: Testing Indefinite—Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment, which amends ASC 350 and allows a Company to first assess qualitative factors, to determine whether or not it is necessary to perform the quantitative test for testing indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment outlined in ASC 350. Management has concluded that as of October 1, 2012, there was no impairment of its indefinite-lived intangible asset.

In the event that the Company determines that the values of goodwill or indefinite-lived intangible assets have become impaired, the Company will incur an accounting charge during the period in which such determination is made. There were no impairments recorded in 2012, 2011 and 2010.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Finite-lived Intangible Assets

Long-lived assets used in operations, consisting principally of property and equipment and finite-lived intangible assets, are tested for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate, in management's judgment, that the assets might be impaired and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than its carrying amount. When testing for impairment, management considers market trends, the expected useful lives of the assets, changes in economic conditions, recent transactions involving sales of similar assets and, if necessary, estimates of future discounted cash flows. If, at any time, management determines the net carrying value of an asset is not recoverable, the amount is reduced to its fair value during the period in which such determination is made. Any changes in the estimated useful lives of these assets will be accounted for prospectively. There were no impairments to long-lived and finite-lived intangible assets, nor was there a need to adjust the remaining useful lives of these assets in 2012, 2011 and 2010.

Leased Aircraft Return Costs

Costs associated with returning leased aircraft are accrued when it is probable that a cash payment will be made and that amount is reasonably estimable. Any accrual is based on the time remaining on the lease, planned aircraft usage and the provisions included in the lease agreement, although the actual amount due to any lessor upon return will not be known with certainty until lease termination.

Revenue Recognition

Passenger revenue is recognized either when the transportation is provided or when tickets expire unused. The value of passenger tickets for future travel is included as air traffic liability.

Various taxes and fees assessed on the sale of tickets to end customers are collected by the Company as an agent and remitted to taxing authorities. These taxes and fees have been presented on a net basis in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations and recorded as a liability until remitted to the appropriate taxing authority.

Other operating revenue include checked baggage revenue, cargo revenue, ticket change and cancellation fees, charter revenue, ground handling fees, commissions and fees earned under certain joint marketing agreements with other companies, inflight revenue and other incidental sales.

Baggage fees, cargo and charter revenue are recognized when the transportation is provided. Ticket change and cancellation fees are recognized at the time the fees are assessed. All other revenue is recognized as revenue when the related goods and services are provided.

Frequent Flyer Program

HawaiianMiles, Hawaiian's frequent flyer travel award program, provides a variety of awards to program members based on accumulated mileage. The Company utilizes the incremental cost method of accounting for free travel awards issued from the HawaiianMiles program. The Company records a liability for the estimated incremental cost of providing travel awards that are expected to be redeemed on Hawaiian or the contractual rate of expected redemption on partner airlines. The Company estimates the incremental cost of travel awards based on periodic studies of actual costs and applies these cost estimates to all issued miles, less an appropriate breakage factor for estimated miles that will not be redeemed. Incremental cost includes the costs of fuel, meals and beverages, insurance and certain other passenger traffic-related costs, but does not include any costs for aircraft ownership and maintenance. The breakage factor is estimated based on an analysis of historical expirations.

The Company also sells mileage credits to companies participating in our frequent flyer program. These sales are accounted for as multiple-element arrangements, with one element representing the travel that will ultimately be provided when the mileage credits are redeemed and the other consisting of marketing related activities that we conduct with the participating company. The estimated fair value of the transportation portion of these mileage credits is deferred and recognized as passenger revenue over the period when transportation is expected to be provided (currently estimated at 22 months). Amounts received in excess of the expected transportation's fair value are recognized immediately as other revenue at the time of sale as compensation for marketing services performed. The estimated fair value of the air transportation component is based on several factors, including the equivalent ticket value of similar Company fares and customer habits in redeeming free travel awards.

Under the programs of certain participating companies, credits are accumulated in accounts maintained by the participating company and then transferred into a member's HawaiianMiles account for immediate redemption of free travel awards. For those transactions, revenue is amortized over the period during which the mileage is projected to be used (currently estimated at five months).

On a periodic basis, we review and update the assumptions used in our frequent flyer accounting. On an annual basis, we update the deferral period and deferral rate for mileage credits sold to participating companies. We also update the incremental cost assumption quarterly and the breakage rate assumption annually for free travel awards earned in connection with the purchase of passenger tickets.

Commissions and Other Selling Expenses

Commissions and other selling expenses include credit card commissions, the costs incurred to provide flights and other awards provided by HawaiianMiles, advertising and promotional expenses and computer reservation system charges, as well as commissions paid to outside agents for the sales of passenger and cargo traffic. Sales commissions are deferred when paid and are subsequently recognized as expense when the related revenue is recognized. Prepaid sales commissions are included in prepaid expenses and other current assets in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. All other components of commissions and other selling expenses, including advertising costs, are expensed when incurred. Advertising expense was $11.2 million, $9.2 million and $11.0 million for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011, and 2010, respectively.

Capitalized Interest

Interest is capitalized upon acquisition of aircraft and engines, which include any interest related to predelivery deposits and interest incurred for significant modifications made to the aircraft, and is depreciated over the estimated useful life of the asset from service inception date. The rate at which interest is capitalized is based on the Company's weighted-average borrowing rate, which was 7.0%, 6.6% and 7.0% during 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Earnings (Loss) Per Share

Basic earnings (loss) per share, which excludes dilution, is computed by dividing net income or loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period.

Diluted earnings (loss) per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock.

In 2010, 1.5 million outstanding warrants expired unexercised.

(2)

In March 2011, the Company entered into a Convertible Note transaction which included the sale of convertible notes, purchase of convertible note hedges and the sale of warrants. See Note 6—Debt for further discussion. These weighted common stock equivalents were excluded because their conversion price of $7.88 per share for the convertible notes and $10.00 for the warrants exceeded the average market price of our common stock during these periods, and the effect of their inclusion would be antidilutive. These securities could be dilutive in future periods. The convertible note hedges will always be antidilutive and, therefore, will have no effect on diluted earnings per share.

Stock Compensation Plans

The Company has a stock compensation plan for it and its subsidiaries' officers, consultants and non-employee directors. The Company accounts for stock compensation awards under ASC 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation, which requires companies to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the fair value of such awards on the dates they are granted. The fair value of the awards are estimated using the following: (1) option-pricing models for grants of stock options, (2) Monte Carlo simulations for restricted stock units with a market condition, or (3) fair value at the measurement date (usually the grant date) for awards of stock subject to time and / or performance-based vesting. The resultant cost is recognized as compensation expense over the period of time during which an employee is required to provide services to the Company (the service period) in exchange for the award, the service period generally being the vesting period of the award.

In accordance with ASC 718, the Company records benefits of tax deductions in excess of recognized stock compensation expense as financing cash flows.

Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Bureau (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update 2011-05, Comprehensive Income—Presentation of Comprehensive Income (ASU 2011-05). This update changes the requirements for the presentation of other comprehensive income, eliminating the option to present components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholders' equity, amongst other things. ASU 2011-05 requires that all nonowner changes in stockholders' equity be presented in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. These amendments are effective for fiscal years and interim period beginning after December 15, 2011 and should be applied retrospectively. The Company adopted this guidance during the quarter ended March 31, 2012 and the two-statement approach is presented within this report.

In May 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2011-04, Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs (ASU 2011-04). ASU 2011-04 amended Accounting ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (ASC 820), to converge the fair value measurement guidance in U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs). Some of the amendments clarify the application of existing fair value measurement requirements, while other amendments change a particular principle in ASC 820. In addition, ASU 2011-04 requires additional fair value disclosures. The amendments are to be applied prospectively and are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company adopted this guidance during the quarter ended March 31, 2012.

In July 2012, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2012-02, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other Testing Indefinite—Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment (ASU 2012-02). ASU 2012-02 amended ASC 350, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other, to allow an entity the option to first assess the qualitative factors in testing indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment, to determine whether or not it is necessary to perform the quantitative impairment test originally outlined in ASC 350. This amendment is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after September 15, 2012 and is to be applied prospectively. The Company adopted this guidance during its annual intangible asset impairment test for the year ended December 31, 2012.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2011-11, Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities (ASU 2011-11). ASU 2011-11 requires entities to disclose both gross and net information of both instruments and transactions eligible for offset on the statement of financial position and instruments and transactions subject to an agreement similar to a master netting arrangement. This amendment is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013 and should be applied retrospectively. The Company is currently evaluating the effect that the provisions of ASU 2011-11 will have on its financial statements.

In the fourth quarter of 2012, the Company recorded a net frequent flyer pre-tax adjustment of $7.3 million to correct an error in the Company's accounting for its sale of mileage credits to companies participating in the Company's frequent flyer program that are deferred and recognized as passenger revenue. The correction resulted in a change in the deferral period from 19 to 22 months. The error primarily relates to prior periods and the impact of the error was not material to any prior period or the 2012 fiscal year.

In the second quarter of 2011, the Company entered into a purchase agreement with the lessor for the purchase of fifteen Boeing 717-200 aircraft. The excess of the purchase price paid over the fair value of the aircraft, which was $70.0 million, was recognized as a cost of terminating the leases and recorded on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The sum of the quarterly earnings per share amounts does not equal the annual amount reported since per share amounts are computed independently for each quarter and for the full year based on respective weighted-average common shares outstanding and other dilutive potential common shares.

As of December 31, 2012, the Convertible Note discount is being amortized to interest expense over the remaining term of 3.25 years.

Convertible Notes

On March 23, 2011, the Company issued $86.25 million principal amount of convertible senior notes (the Convertible Notes) due March 15, 2016. The Convertible Notes were issued at par and bear interest at a rate of 5.00% per annum. Interest is paid semi-annually, in arrears, on March 15 and September 15 each year.

Each $1,000 of principal of the Convertible Notes is convertible under certain circumstances, at an initial conversion rate of 126.8730 shares of the Company's common stock (or a total of approximately 10.9 million shares), which is the equivalent of approximately $7.8819 per share, subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain specified events as set forth in the indenture governing the terms of the Convertible Notes. Upon conversion, the Company will have the right, at the Company's election, to pay or deliver cash, shares of the Company's common stock or a combination thereof. Holders may convert their Convertible Notes at their option at any time prior to November 15, 2015, only if one of the following conditions has been met (during 2012, none of the conditions permitting conversion were met):

• •

  During any calendar quarter after the calendar quarter ending June 30, 2011, and only during such calendar quarter, if the closing price of the Company's common stock for at least 20 trading days in the period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on the last trading day of the preceding calendar quarter exceeds 130% of the conversion price per share of common stock in effect on the last day of such preceding calendar quarter;

  •

  During the five consecutive business days immediately after any 10 consecutive trading day period in which the average trading price per $1,000 principal amount of the Convertible Notes during such period was less than 97% of the product of the closing sale price of the common stock and the conversion rate on such trading day;

  •

  The Company makes specified distributions to holders of the Company's common stock or specified corporate transactions occur.

On or after November 15, 2015, and up through and including the second business day immediately preceding March 15, 2016, the Holders may convert their Convertible Notes into common stock.

Holders may require the Company to repurchase all or a portion of their Convertible Notes upon a fundamental change, primarily a change in control or termination of trading, at a cash repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Convertible Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any. The Company may not redeem the Convertible Notes prior to their maturity date.

When accounting for the Convertible Notes, the Company applied accounting guidance related to the accounting for convertible debt instruments that may be settled in cash upon conversion. This guidance required the Company to separately account for the liability and equity components of the Convertible Notes in a manner that reflects our nonconvertible debt borrowing rate when interest cost is recognized in subsequent periods. This guidance required bifurcation of a component of the debt, classification of that component in equity, and then accretion of the resulting discount on the debt as part of interest expense reflected in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Accordingly, the Company recorded an adjustment to reduce the carrying value of the Convertible Notes by $19.5 million and recorded this amount in Shareholders' Equity. This adjustment was based on the calculated fair value of a similar debt instrument that did not have an associated equity component. The annual interest rate calculated for a similar debt instrument was 11.00%. During 2012, the carrying amount of the equity component and the effective interest rate applied to the liability component remaining unchanged from 2011.

The total issuance costs for the Convertible Notes was $3.3 million, of which $2.5 million was allocated to the debt component and $0.8 million was allocated to the equity component during 2011. The issuance costs allocated to debt were capitalized and are being amortized to interest expense over the term of the Convertible Notes. The issuance costs allocated to equity were recorded as a reduction of additional paid-in-capital.

Non-cash interest expense relating to the amortization of the discount allocated to the debt component of the Convertible Notes for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 was $3.5 million and $2.4 million, respectively, and interest expense over for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 was $4.8 million and 3.8 million, respectively.

Convertible Note Hedges and Warrants

In connection with the issuance of the Convertible Notes, the Company entered into separate convertible note hedge transactions (the Convertible Note Hedges) and separate warrant transactions (the Warrants) with certain financial investors to reduce the potential dilution of the Company's common stock and to offset potential payments by the Company to holders of the Convertible Notes in excess of the principal of the Convertible Notes upon conversion. The Convertible Note Hedges and Warrants are separate transactions, entered into by the Company with the financial institutions, and are not part of the Convertible Notes described above.

The Company paid $19.5 million for the Convertible Note Hedges. Under the terms of the Convertible Note Hedges, the counterparties to the Convertible Note Hedges will generally deliver to the Company amounts in excess of the principal amount of the Convertible Notes delivered upon conversion by the Company to the holders of the Convertible Notes in the same form of consideration elected to be delivered by the Company to the holders of the Convertible Notes under the indenture for the Convertible Notes. The Company may elect to settle the conversion feature of the Convertible Notes in cash or shares of common stock or in any combination of cash or shares of common stock as determined in accordance with the provisions of the indenture. The Convertible Note Hedges are currently exercisable and expire on March 15, 2016.

Concurrent with the issuance of the Convertible Notes, the Company sold Warrants to certain financial institutions that permit such financial institutions to acquire shares of the Company's common stock. The Warrants are exercisable by the financial institutions for 10.9 million shares of the Company's common stock at a current exercise price of $10.00 per share. The Company received $11.9 million in proceeds from the sale of the Warrants. The Warrants expire at various dates beginning in June 2016 and ending in September 2016. The Warrants provide for net share settlement by the Company, subject to the option of the Company to deliver cash in lieu of shares if certain conditions under the Warrants have been met.

The Company determined that the Convertible Note Hedges and Warrants meet the requirements of the FASB's accounting guidance for accounting for derivative financial instruments indexed to, and potentially settled in, a Company's own stock and other relevant guidance and, therefore, are classified as equity transactions. As a result, the Company recorded the purchase of the Convertible Note Hedges as a reduction in additional paid-in-capital and the proceeds of the Warrants as an increase to additional-paid-in-capital in the Consolidated Balance Sheets, and the Company will not recognize subsequent changes in the fair value of the agreements in the consolidated financial statements.

Revolving Credit Facility

The Company has a secured Revolving Credit Facility in an amount up to $75.0 million, with a variable-interest rate of 6.25% at December 31, 2012, and maturing in December 2013. As of December 31, 2012 and 2011 the Company had no outstanding borrowing under the Revolving Credit Facility and $68.9 million and $56.9 million available, respectively, (net of various outstanding letters of credit), and is in compliance with its financial covenants under the Revolving Credit Facility.

As of December 31, 2012, the scheduled maturities of long-term debt are as follows (in thousands):

2013	100,477
2014	37,515
2015	39,435
2016	125,911
2017	41,790
Thereafter	223,013

Cash payments for interest totaled $35.2 million, $15.6 million, and $10.1 million in 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Fuel Risk Management

Fuel Risk Management

4. Fuel Risk Management

The Company's operations are inherently dependent upon the price and availability of aircraft fuel. To manage economic risks associated with fluctuations in aircraft fuel prices, the Company periodically enters into derivative financial instruments such as heating oil, WTI and Brent crude oil call options and collars. During the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011, 2010, the Company primarily used heating oil and crude oil call options and collars to hedge its aircraft fuel expense. As of December 31, 2012, the Company had outstanding fuel derivative contracts covering 127.0 million gallons of jet fuel that will be settled over the next 18 months. These derivative instruments were not designated as hedges under ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging (ASC 815), for hedge accounting treatment. As a result, any changes in fair value of these derivative instruments are adjusted through other nonoperating income (expense) in the period of change.

The following table reflects the amount of realized and unrealized gains and losses recorded as nonoperating income (expense) in the Consolidated Statements of Operations during 2012, 2011, and 2010.

Unrealized gains (losses) on contracts that will settle in future periods		(6,325	)		(2,512	)		4,066
Gains (losses) on fuel derivatives recorded as nonoperating income (expense)	$	(11,330	)	$	(6,862	)	$	641

ASC 815 requires a reporting entity to elect a policy of whether to offset rights to reclaim cash collateral or obligations to return cash collateral against derivative assets and liabilities executed with the same counterparty, or present such amounts on a gross basis. Based on the fair value of our fuel derivative contracts, our counterparties may require us to post collateral when the price of the underlying commodity decreases. The Company's accounting policy is to present its derivative assets and liabilities on a net basis including the collateral posted with the counterparty. The Company had no collateral posted with our fuel contract counterparties as of December 31, 2012, 2011, and 2010.

The following table presents the fair value of the asset and liability derivatives that are not designated as hedging instruments under ASC 815 as well as the location of the asset and liability balances within the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Weighted average is based on the gross carrying values and estimated useful lives as of June 2, 2005 (the date Hawaiian emerged from bankruptcy). The useful lives ranged from sixteen for a favorable aircraft lease to six for a favorable aircraft maintenance contract.

Amortization expense related to the above intangible assets was $18.8 million, $23.4 million, and $23.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011, and 2010, respectively. Amortization of the favorable aircraft and engine leases and the favorable aircraft maintenance contracts are included in aircraft rent and maintenance materials and repairs, respectively, in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010.

7. Leases

The Company leases aircraft, engines and other assets under long-term lease arrangements. Other leased assets include real property, airport and terminal facilities, and general offices. Certain leases include escalation clauses and renewal options. When lease renewals are considered to be reasonably assured, the rental payments that will be due during the renewal periods are included in the determination of rent expense over the life of the lease.

Aircraft

On June 27, 2011, Hawaiian terminated lease agreements and concurrently entered into a purchase agreement with the lessor covering fifteen Boeing 717-200 aircraft, each such aircraft including two Rolls-Royce BR700-715 engines. These aircraft were previously operated by Hawaiian under four capital and eleven operating lease agreements. The purchase price for the fifteen Boeing 717-200 aircraft was $230 million, comprised of financing of $192.8 million through secured loan agreements with Boeing Capital, cash payment of $25.0 million, and the non-cash application of maintenance and security deposits held by the previous lessor and current debt financier of $12.2 million. This purchase price was reduced by certain previously recorded lease valuation adjustments related to these aircraft. The Company recognized the excess of the purchase price paid over the fair value of the aircraft under operating leases as a cost of terminating the leases under ASC 840—Leases (formerly FASB Interpretation No. 26, Accounting for Purchase of a Leased Asset by the Lessee during the Term of the Lease) and elected to apply the same accounting policy to the aircraft under capital leases. As a result, the Company reduced the value of the fifteen Boeing 717-200 to their fair value of $135 million on its Consolidated Balance Sheets and recorded lease termination charges of $70.0 million on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company determined the valuation of the aircraft based on a third-party appraisal that considered multiple inputs, including market transactions for similar aircraft and information specific to the condition of each aircraft. As a result, this fair value measurement was considered a Level 3 measurement as described in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements. See additional information on the loan agreements at Note 6 to the consolidated financial statements.

As of December 31, 2012, the Company had lease contracts for 17 of its 45 aircraft. Of the 17 lease contracts, three aircraft lease contracts were accounted for as capital leases, with the remaining 14 lease contracts accounted for as operating leases in accordance with ASC 840, Accounting for Leases. These aircraft leases have remaining lease terms ranging from approximately one to thirteen years. Under these lease agreements, the Company is required to pay monthly specified amounts of rent plus maintenance reserves based on utilization of the aircraft. Maintenance reserves are amounts paid by the Company to the aircraft lessor as a deposit for certain future scheduled airframe, engine and landing gear overhaul costs. Maintenance reserves are reimbursable once the Company successfully completes such qualified scheduled airframe, engine and/or landing gear overhauls.

As of December 31, 2012, the scheduled future minimum rental payments under capital leases and operating leases with noncancelable basic terms of more than one year are as follows:

	Capital Leases				Operating Leases
	Aircraft*		Other		Aircraft		Other

2013	$	13,720	$	102	$	84,983	$	4,784

(*)

At December 31, 2012, the Company had three aircraft under capital leases (two Boeing 717-200 aircraft and one A330-200 aircraft) that were included in property and equipment on the Consolidated Balance Sheets

Accumulated amortization for our aircraft and other capital leases was $8.3 million and $1.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Rent expense was $151.0 million, $156.7 million and $146.3 million during the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Geographic Information

12. Geographic Information

The Company's primary operations are that of its wholly-owned subsidiary, Hawaiian. Principally all operations of Hawaiian either originate and/or end in the State of Hawaii. The management of such operations is based on a system-wide approach due to the interdependence of Hawaiian's route structure in its various markets. As Hawaiian offers only one significant line of business (i.e., air transportation), management has concluded that it has only one segment. The Company's chief operating decision maker allocates operational resources to maximize the Company's consolidated financial results.

Revenues from other lines of business are below the quantitative threshold for segment reporting and consist of revenues from Hawaiian Gifts, LLC. The difference between the financial information of the Company's one reportable segment and financial information included in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations as a result of this entity is not significant.

The Company's operating revenues by geographic region (as defined by the Department of Transportation, DOT) are summarized below:

	Year Ended December 31,
	2012		2011		2010
	(in thousands)
Domestic	$	1,378,498	$	1,272,196	$	1,177,474
Pacific		583,855		378,263		132,619
Total operating revenue	$	1,962,353	$	1,650,459	$	1,310,093

Hawaiian attributes operating revenue by geographic region based upon the origin and destination of each flight segment. Hawaiian's tangible assets consist primarily of flight equipment, which are mobile across geographic markets, and, therefore, have not been allocated to specific geographic regions.

In 2010, 1.5 million outstanding warrants expired unexercised.

(2)

In March 2011, the Company entered into a Convertible Note transaction which included the sale of convertible notes, purchase of convertible note hedges and the sale of warrants. See Note 6—Debt for further discussion. These weighted common stock equivalents were excluded because their conversion price of $7.88 per share for the convertible notes and $10.00 for the warrants exceeded the average market price of our common stock during these periods, and the effect of their inclusion would be antidilutive. These securities could be dilutive in future periods. The convertible note hedges will always be antidilutive and, therefore, will have no effect on diluted earnings per share.

11. Commitments and Contingent Liabilities

Commitments

As of December 31, 2012, the Company had capital commitments consisting of firm aircraft orders for thirteen wide-body Airbus A330-200 aircraft, six Airbus A350XWB-800 aircraft and four Rolls Royce spare engines scheduled for delivery through 2020. The Company has purchase rights for an additional three A330-200 aircraft and six A350XWB-800 aircraft and can utilize these rights subject to production availability. In January 2013, the Company signed a memorandum of understanding for the purchase of 16 new Airbus A321neo aircraft for delivery between 2017 and 2020, with rights to purchase an additional nine aircraft (excluded from the table below). The Company plans to execute a purchase agreement in the first quarter of 2013.

The Company has operating commitments with a third-party to provide aircraft maintenance services which include fixed payments as well as variable payments based on flight hours for our Airbus fleet through 2027. The Company also has operating commitments with third-party service providers for reservations, IT, and accounting services through 2017.

Committed capital and operating expenditures include escalation and variable amounts based on estimated forecasts. The gross committed expenditures for upcoming aircraft deliveries and committed financings for those deliveries for the next five years and thereafter are detailed below as of the date of this Report:

See below for a detailed discussion of the committed financings Hawaiian has received for its upcoming capital commitments for aircraft deliveries.

Airbus A330-200 Facility Agreement Commitments

Hawaiian has commitments for two separate secured loan agreements, entered into during the second half of 2012, totaling $132 million to finance a portion of the capital commitments for two upcoming Airbus A330-200 aircraft deliveries in the first half of 2013. These loan agreements have a term of ten years with quarterly principal and interest payments. One of the loan agreements will bear interest under a variable-rate with a $7 million balloon payment due at maturity, and the other will bear interest under a fixed-rate with a $10 million balloon payment due at maturity.

The anticipated future principal payments and commitment fees for these facility agreements, not included in the table above, is approximately $8.8 million in 2013, $10.8 million in 2014, $11.0 million in 2015, $11.3 million in 2016, $11.6 million in 2017 and $80.4 million thereafter.

Purchase Aircraft Lease Financing Agreement

Hawaiian has a commitment to assign its purchase of two Airbus A330-200 aircraft at delivery and simultaneously enter into lease agreements for the respective aircraft with scheduled delivery dates during the first half of 2013 with total committed lease financing of $180 million. Both the gross capital commitment for the cost of the aircraft and the committed financing are shown in the table above. The lease agreements have initial lease terms of twelve years with the option to extend an additional two years. Rent under each lease is payable monthly at a fixed rate to be determined at delivery of each aircraft. The Company will determine whether these leases will be classified as capital or operating leases in the period it takes delivery of each aircraft.

The anticipated future payments for these leases, not included in the table above, is approximately $15.3 million for 2013, $18.4 million in 2014, $18.4 million in 2015, $18.4 million in 2016, $18.4 million in 2017 and $131.6 million thereafter.

Litigation and Contingencies

The Company is subject to legal proceedings arising in the normal course of its operations. Management does not anticipate that the disposition of any currently pending proceeding will have a material effect on the Company's operations, business or financial condition.

General Guarantees and Indemnifications

In the normal course of business, the Company enters into numerous aircraft financing and real estate leasing arrangements that have various guarantees included in the contract. It is common in such lease transactions for the lessee to agree to indemnify the lessor and other related third-parties for tort liabilities that arise out of or relate to the lessee's use of the leased aircraft or occupancy of the leased premises. In some cases, this indemnity extends to related liabilities arising from the negligence of the indemnified parties, but usually excludes any liabilities caused by their gross negligence or willful misconduct. Additionally, the lessee typically indemnifies such parties for any environmental liability that arises out of or relates to its use of the real estate leased premises. The Company believes that it is covered by insurance (subject to deductibles) for most tort liabilities and related indemnities described above with respect to the aircraft and real estate that it leases. The Company cannot estimate the potential amount of future payments, if any, under the foregoing indemnities and agreements.

Credit Card Holdback

Under the Company's bank-issued credit card processing agreements, certain proceeds from advance ticket sales may be held back to serve as collateral to cover any possible chargebacks or other disputed charges that may occur. These holdbacks, which are included in restricted cash in the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets, totaled $5.0 million at December 31, 2012 and $30.9 million at December 31, 2011. There were no amounts subject to this holdback at December 31, 2012. As of December 31, 2011, the holdback was 25% of the applicable credit card air traffic liability.

In October 2012, the Company entered into an amendment with its largest credit card processor that eliminates the financial triggers for additional holdbacks. In the event of a material adverse change in the business, the holdback could increase to an amount up to 100% of the applicable credit card air traffic liability, which would also cause an increase in the level of restricted cash. If the Company is unable to obtain a waiver of, or otherwise mitigate the increase in restriction of cash, it could also cause a covenant violation under other debt or lease obligations and have a material adverse impact on the Company.
