Hawaiian Airlines News Release

9/6/05
Raiders Go For Six On Hawaiian

HONOLULU – The NFL regular season kicks off this week and the Oakland Raiders are flying Hawaiian-style whenever they take to the road.

Hawaiian Airlines, that is. For the sixth straight year, Hawaii's biggest and longest-serving carrier will be the Oakland Raiders' airline of choice whenever “The Team of the Decades” travels to an away game.

Using its wide-body, twin-aisle Boeing 767-300ER aircraft, Hawaiian is providing chartered nonstop service for Oakland's players, coaches, trainers, and team officials.

To keep the players nourished and comfortable while traveling, Hawaiian's “Silver and Black” in-flight service will feature extra-large, hearty meals along with fresh fruit, candy baskets and any special requests. Up to three first-run movies will be shown on flights.

Raiders executive Marc Badain commented, “Hawaiian Airlines continues to demonstrate a true 'Commitment to Excellence.' Our players, coaches and staff look forward to a sixth consecutive season of first-class service.”

Starting with this week's opener against the New England Patriots, Hawaiian is flying the Raiders to eight cities for road games during the season: Providence, Philadelphia, Nashville, Kansas City, Washington, D.C., San Diego, Newark, and Denver.

Should Oakland qualify for post-season play, Hawaiian will have first option to fly the team to any road playoff game including Super Bowl XL in Detroit.
