EXPLANATORY NOTE
This Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 (the "Amendment") to the
Registration Statement on Form S-8 (Registration No. 333-26179) of Hawaiian
Airlines, Inc., a Hawaii corporation ("Hawaiian"), is being filed by Hawaiian
Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), pursuant to Rule 414
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), to reflect
the reorganization of Hawaiian into a holding company structure (the
"Reorganization"), which was completed on August 29, 2002.
As a result of the Reorganization, Hawaiian became a wholly owned
subsidiary of the Company, and the shareholders of Hawaiian became shareholders
of the Company. After the completion of the Reorganization, the Company became
the successor of Hawaiian as the public company, and the shareholders of the
Company held the same relative percentage of Common Stock, par value $.01 per
share, of the Company ("Company Common Stock") as they owned of Common Stock,
par value $.01 per share, of Hawaiian ("Hawaiian Common Stock") and special
preferred stock of Hawaiian immediately prior to the Reorganization.
Additionally, pursuant to the Reorganization, the Company assumed
sponsorship of each of Hawaiian's 1994 Stock Option Plan, as amended, Hawaiian's
1996 Stock Incentive Plan, as amended, and Hawaiian's 1996 Nonemployee Director
Stock Option Plan, as amended (collectively, the "Hawaiian Option Plans"). Each
outstanding option and other award assumed by the Company is exercisable or
issuable upon the same terms and conditions as were in effect immediately prior
to the completion of the Reorganization. The number of shares of Company Common
Stock issuable upon the exercise or issuance of such an option or award
immediately after the effectiveness of the Reorganization equals the number of
shares of Hawaiian Common Stock subject to the option prior to the completion of
the Reorganization. All options and awards issued pursuant to any plan or
agreement assumed by the Company after the completion of the Reorganization will
entitle the holder thereof to purchase Company Common Stock in accordance with
the terms of such plan or agreement as in effect on the date of issuance.
In accordance with Rule 414 under the Securities Act, the Company, as
the successor issuer to Hawaiian, hereby expressly adopts Registration Statement
No. 333-26179 on Form S-8 (the "Registration Statement") as its own for all
purposes of the Securities Act and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended (the "Exchange Act"). The Hawaiian Airlines, Inc. 1996 Nonemployee
Director Stock Option Plan, to which this Registration Statement relates, shall
be known as the Hawaiian Holdings, Inc. 1996 Nonemployee Director Stock Option
Plan (the "Plan"). The Plan covers employees of the Company and its subsidiaries
(including Hawaiian), and shares of stock issued in accordance with the Plan
will be shares of Company Common Stock instead of shares of Hawaiian Common
Stock.
The applicable registration fees were paid at the time of the original
filing of the Registration Statement.

ITEM 4. DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES
Not applicable.
ITEM 5. INTERESTS OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL
Not applicable.
ITEM 6. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS
Section 145 of Title 8 of the General Corporation Law of the State of
Delaware ("GCL") gives a Delaware corporation the power to indemnify any person
who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened,
pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal,
administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the
corporation) by reason of the fact that the person is or was a director,
officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the
request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another
corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against
expenses (including attorneys' fees),
II -1
judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred
by the person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if the person
acted in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably believed to be in or
not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any
criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe the person's
conduct was unlawful. The same Section also gives a Delaware corporation the
power to indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made
a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the
right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the
fact that the person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the
corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a
director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint
venture, trust or other enterprise against expenses (including attorneys' fees)
actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with the defense or
settlement of such action or suit if the person acted in good faith and in a
manner reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the
corporation and except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any
claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be
liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the Court of
Chancery or the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine
upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all
the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to
indemnity for such expenses which the Court of Chancery or such other court
shall deem proper. Section 145 of the GCL further provides that, to the extent
that a present or former director or officer of a Delaware corporation has been
successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any such action, suit or
proceeding referred to above, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter
therein, such person shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys'
fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection therewith.
Section 145 of the GCL also provides that expenses (including attorneys' fees)
incurred by an officer or director in defending any civil, criminal,
administrative or investigative action, suit or proceeding may be paid by the
Delaware corporation in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or
proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such director or
officer to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that such
person is not entitled to be indemnified by the corporation as authorized in
this Section. Such expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred by former
directors and officers or other employees and agents may be so paid upon such
terms and conditions, if any, as the corporation deems appropriate.
The Registrant's Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and
Amended By-laws contain specific authority for indemnification by the Registrant
of current and former directors, officers, employees or agents of the Registrant
on terms that have been derived from Section 145 of Title 8 of the GCL.
Section 102(b)(7) of the GCL provides that the certificate of
incorporation may contain a provision eliminating or limiting the personal
liability of a director to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary
damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, provided that such provision
shall not eliminate or limit the liability of a director: (i) for any breach of
the director's duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders; (ii) for
acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a
knowing violation of law; (iii) under Section 174 of the GCL (pertaining to
certain prohibited acts including unlawful payment of dividends or unlawful
purchase or redemption of the corporation's capital stock); or (iv) for any
transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. The
Registrant's Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides that, to
the fullest extent permitted under the GCL as amended from time to time, no
director shall be personally liable to the Registrant or its stockholders for
monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director.
The Registrant maintains directors and officers liability insurance for
the benefit of its directors and certain of its officers.

ITEM 9. UNDERTAKINGS
(a) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales
are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration
statement:
(i) To include any prospectus required by
Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or
events arising after the effective date of the registration
statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment
thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a
fundamental change in the information set forth in the
registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any
increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the
total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that
which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high
end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected
in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant
to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and
price represent no more than a 20 percent change in the
maximum
II -3
aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of
Registration Fee" table in the effective registration
statement;
(iii) To include any material information with
respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed
in the registration statement or any material change to such
information in the registration statement;
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not
apply if the registration statement is on Form S-3, Form S-8 or Form
F-3, and the information required to be included in a post-effective
amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed
with or furnished to the Commission by the Registrant pursuant to
Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are
incorporated by reference in the registration statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any
liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective
amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating
to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities
at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering
thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a
post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which
remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
(b) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for
purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each
filing of the Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that is incorporated by reference in the
registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement
relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities
at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling
persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise,
the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and
Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed
in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event
that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the
payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or
controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action,
suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person
in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless
in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling
precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether
such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the
Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such
issue.
