HONOLULU, Jan. 26, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Hawaiian Airlines, Inc. (the "Company"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Hawaiian Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq: HA), today announced the launch of an unregistered offering of $800 million in aggregate principal amount of Senior Secured Notes due 2026 (the "Notes") by two newly-formed subsidiary Issuers (as defined below), subject to market and other conditions.

The Notes may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements.

This press release does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any of the Notes nor shall there be any sale of the Notes in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful. This news release is being issued pursuant to and in accordance with Rule 135c under the Securities Act.
