The increase in passenger numbers year-over-year is mainly the result of Hawaiian's expansion of interisland operations, while the lower average load factor reflects adjustment of capacity between markets and a lower transpacific load factor as Hawaiian has raised fares in an effort to offset the increased price of fuel.
