"Peter's leadership of our corporate finance, treasury and accounting activities has been integral to the senior management team that has guided Hawaiian's successes and growth over the past six years," said President and Chief Executive Officer Mark Dunkerley. "This move focuses his talents on the revenue side of our business at a time when a new era of growth is opening a host of opportunities for Hawaiian.

"It also leaves large shoes to fill in finance and we are fortunate to have attracted Scott Topping, a respected and accomplished leader in our industry, to guide our finance strategy and management through this exciting period for Hawaiian."

In his new role, Ingram will oversee Hawaiian's marketing and sales division with direct responsibility for the company's marketing, partnerships, cargo sales and new revenue sources. Glenn Taniguchi, Senior Vice President, will continue to lead the company's route planning, pricing, airline alliances and sales strategies, reporting to Ingram.

"These changes focus additional resources and senior management oversight on critical revenue-generating activities that will drive the growth of our business in the coming years. Collectively, they strengthen our ability to grow profitably and sustain the positive momentum we have achieved," Dunkerley said.

Ingram joined Hawaiian as CFO in 2005.
