Yep. Michael Hartley founded The Hawaii Express followed by Air Hawaii. The two DC-10-10 aircraft formerly operated by Western (N904WA & N905WA) were operated by both airlines. The Hawaii Express lasted just over a year and the subsequent Air Hawaii operation lasted about three months.....

While The Hawaii Express only flew LAX-HNL, Air Hawaii flew LAX-HNL and SFO-HNL. There were also two other air carriers which used the Air Hawaii name, the first in the late 1960's and the second in the early 1980's. Both were commuter operations flying interisland routes in Hawaii with small turboprop and prop aircraft (I think DHC-6 Twin Otter or Cessna 402).
