Hawaiian Air delays hearing in its bankruptcy case

By Associated Press

HONOLULU (AP) _ Hawaiian Airlines has delayed a hearing on its reorganization plan for a second time while it tries to reach contract agreement with unions representing its employees. The postponement to February 22nd ensures that the company's Chapter 11 reorganization will extend into a third year. Hawaiian Air filed for bankruptcy protection on March 21st, 2003. A hearing on a competing reorganization plan may still be held on February 8th. The company's plan is being proposed by trustee Joshua Gotbaum, investment group R-C Aviation and the airline's unsecured creditors' committee. (Copyright 2005 Associated Press. All rights reserved.)
