Hawaiian Airlines, Inc.:

Hawaiian Airlines recently laid off 98 nonunion employees as part of an effort to cut $4 million from its annual budget. The move comes as Hawaiian faces soaring fuel prices and increased competition from go!, the new interisland market entrant run by Phoenix-based Mesa Airlines. The cuts include some 20 workers in the Hawaiian's information technology division, which the airline is outsourcing to vendors in India. About half of the layoffs or 47 involve management positions. That would leave the company with a management force of nearly 180 people. About 40 percent of the layoffs are on the mainland. None of the airline's roughly 3,000 unionized workers are affected by the cuts.
