HAWAIIAN AIRLINES, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

1.   BASIS OF PRESENTATION

In the opinion of management, the unaudited condensed financial statements
included in this report contain all adjustments necessary for a fair
presentation of the results of operations and statements of cash flows for the
interim periods covered and the financial condition of Hawaiian Airlines, Inc.
("Hawaiian Airlines" or the "Company") as of June 30, 1998 and December 31,
1997.  The operating results for the interim period are not necessarily
indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year.  

The accompanying financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
financial statements and the notes thereto contained in Hawaiian Airlines'
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1997, which are
incorporated herein by reference.

Certain reclassifications have been made to conform prior year's data to current
year's presentation.

2.   INCOME TAXES

The Company's reorganization and the associated implementation of fresh start 
reporting in September 1994 gave rise to significant items of expense for 
financial reporting purposes that are not deductible for income tax purposes. 
In large measure, it is these nondeductible expenses that result in an 
effective tax rate (for financial reporting purposes) significantly different 
than the current United States ("U.S.") corporate statutory rate of 35.0%. 
The Company presently expects that its full year 1998 results will require a 
provision for income taxes.  For second quarter 1998 and for the six month 
period ended June 30, 1998, estimated interperiod tax provisions of $2.9 
million and $1.8 million, respectively, have been reflected in the 
accompanying condensed statements of operations.  

3.   NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB") issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 130, "Reporting
Comprehensive Income," which establishes standards for the reporting and display
of comprehensive income and its components in a full set of general-purpose
financial statements. SFAS requires reclassification of financial statements for
earlier periods provided for comparative purposes. 

In June 1997, the FASB also issued SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of
an Enterprise and Related Information," which establishes standards for the way
that public business enterprises report information about operating segments in
annual financial statements and requires that those enterprises report selected
information about operating segments in interim financial reports issued to
shareholders. SFAS No. 131 requires restatement of comparative information
presented for earlier periods.

In February 1998, the FASB issued SFAS No. 132, "Employers' Disclosures about
Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits," which amends the disclosure
requirements of SFAS No. 87, "Employer's Accounting for Pensions," No. 88,
"Employers' Accounting for Settlements and Curtailments of Defined Benefit
Pension Plans and for Termination Benefits" and No. 106, "Employers' Accounting
for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions."  SFAS No. 132 addresses
disclosure only and does not change any of the measurement or recognition
provisions provided for in 


                                      6
<PAGE>

SFAS Nos. 87, 88 or 106.  SFAS No. 132 requires restatement of comparative 
information presented for earlier periods.

In June 1998, the FASB issued SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities," which establishes accounting and reporting
standards for derivative instruments and for hedging activities.  SFAS No. 133
requires that an entity recognize all derivatives as either assets or
liabilities in the statement of financial position and measure those instruments
at fair value.  SFAS No. 133 is effective for all fiscal quarters of fiscal
years beginning after June 15, 1999.

In March 1998, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Accounting
Standards Executive Committee (the "AcSEC") issued Statement of Position ("SOP")
98-1, "Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for
Internal Use" which requires that certain costs related to the development or
purchase of internal-use software be capitalized and amortized over the
estimated useful life of the software.  SOP 98-1 also requires that costs
related to the preliminary project stage and the post-implementation/operations
stage, as defined, in an internal-use computer software development project be
expensed as incurred.  SOP 98-1 is effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 1998.

In April 1998, the AcSEC issued SOP 98-5, "Reporting on the Costs of Start-up
Activities" which requires that costs incurred during start-up activities,
including organization costs, be expensed as incurred.  The provisions of SOP
98-5 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1998. 

Provisions of SFAS No. 130, 131 and 132 are effective for fiscal years or
periods beginning after December 15, 1997.  Adoption of the provisions of SFAS
No. 130, 131 and 132 by the Company as of January 1, 1998 did not have a
material impact on the Company's previously reported financial information. 
Further, management does not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 133, SOP 98-1 or
SOP 98-5 to have a material impact on the Company's results of operations or
reported financial information.


ITEM 2.   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

Certain statements contained in this report that are not related to historical
results, including, without limitation, statements regarding the Company's
business strategy and objectives, future financial position and estimated cost
savings, are forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the
Securities Act and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act and involve risks
and uncertainties.  Although the Company believes that the assumptions on which
any forward-looking statements are based are reasonable, there can be no
assurance that such assumptions will prove to be accurate and actual results
could differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements. 
Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not
limited to, those discussed under Part I, Item I, Business of the Company's Form
10-K Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 1997 and heretofore, as well
as those discussed elsewhere in this Form 10-Q.  All forward-looking statements
contained in this Form 10-Q are qualified in their entirety by this cautionary
statement.

It is not reasonably possible to itemize all of the many factors and specific
events that could affect the outlook of an airline operating in the global
economy. Some factors that could significantly impact capacity, load factors,
revenues, expenses and cash flows include the airline pricing environment, fuel
costs, labor union situations both at the Company and other carriers, low-fare
carrier expansion, 

                                      7
<PAGE>

capacity decisions of other carriers, actions of the U.S. and foreign 
governments, foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations, inflation, the 
general economic environment and other factors discussed herein.

Developments in any of these areas, as well as other risks and uncertainties
detailed from time to time in the Company's Securities and Exchange Commission
filings, could cause the Company's results to differ from results that have been
or may be projected by or on behalf of the Company. The Company cautions that
the foregoing list of important factors is not exclusive. The Company does not
undertake to update any forward-looking statements that may be made from time to
time by or on behalf of the Company. 

                            SEGMENT INFORMATION

Due to the centralization of the Company's operations in the State of Hawaii and
the interdependence of its routes, management considers its operations to be one
industry segment.  Refer to the discussion below for those certain operating
revenue products which constitute the segment.
 
                           RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

In second quarter 1998, the Company generated operating and net income of $6.1
million and $2.9 million, respectively.  This represented a $4.1 million and
$1.7 million increase from second quarter 1997 operating and net income of $2.0
million and $1.2 million, respectively.  

Period over period, for the six months ended June 30, 1998, the Company improved
operating and net income by $6.7 million and $3.0 million, respectively. 
Operating and net income for the six months ended June 30, 1998 totaled $4.1
million and $1.8 million, respectively.    

In second quarter 1998 and for the six month period ended June 30, 1998, the
Company has increased its operating revenues, primarily in passenger service. 
In the aggregate, operating expenses have also either been stable or remained
flat.

Significant quarter to quarter variances were as follows:

Passenger revenues totaled $91.1 million during second quarter 1998, an increase
of $6.6 million or 7.8% over second quarter 1997 passenger revenues of $84.5
million.  The Company experienced quarter over quarter increases of $3.6 million
and $3.0 million in its Interisland and Transpac passenger revenues,
respectively.  Both increases were primarily driven by higher yields resulting
from general price increases initiated by the Company in both the Interisland
and Transpac markets. 

Overseas charter revenues totaled $8.7 million in second quarter 1998, a
decrease of $1.2 million or 12.7% from second quarter 1997 overseas charter
revenues of $9.9 million.  The decrease is principally associated with (i) the
Company flying, on average, six charters per week to Las Vegas in 

                                      9
<PAGE>

second quarter 1998 versus eight per week in second quarter 1997 and (ii) 
general decreases quarter over quarter in prices charged for both its Las 
Vegas and Anchorage charter flights.

with second quarter 1997 by major category:

</TABLE>

All fluctuations in operating expenses were affected by an overall increase 
in ASM of approximately 1.4% quarter over quarter.  Significant period to 
period variances were as follows:

Wages and benefits per ASM increased by 0.06 CENTS or 3.0%.  Quarter over 
quarter, wages and benefits increased by approximately $1.3 million or 4.7%.  
Second quarter 1997 benefits were adjusted by $750,000 due to favorable 
experience in the Company's workers compensation and postretirement service 
costs.  No such adjustments were recorded in second quarter 1998.  

Aircraft fuel cost, including taxes and oil ("Aircraft Fuel Cost") per ASM 
decreased in second quarter 1998 over second quarter 1997 by 0.18 CENTS or 
12.9%. The Company incurred $2.2 million or 11.6% less in Aircraft Fuel Cost 
in second quarter 1998, principally due to the average cost of aircraft fuel 
per gallon, excluding taxes, decreasing by 8.7 CENTS or 13.3% quarter over 
quarter.

Maintenance materials and repairs per ASM increased by 0.09 CENTS or 6.4%. 
Quarter over quarter the Company incurred approximately $1.4 million or 7.2% 
in additional maintenance expense due to (i) $738,000 more in DC-9 airframe 
and engine repairs and (ii) $618,000 more in DC-10 maintenance expense, 
chiefly due to an increase in the monthly maintenance rates charged by 
American Airlines, Inc. in second quarter 1998 versus second quarter 1997.

Rentals and landing fees per ASM decreased by 0.11 CENTS or 17.5%.  Commencing 
September 1, 1997, a two-year moratorium was placed on landing fees at all 
airports in the State of Hawaii.  The Governor of the State of Hawaii has 
reserved the right, however to reinstate the landing fee charges before the 
two-year period ends.  Under the current moratorium, the Company incurred 
approximately $1.5 million less for landing fees in second quarter 1998 than 
in second quarter 1997.

Sales commissions decreased by 0.05 CENTS or 19.2%.  Sales commissions 
decreased by $583,000 or 16.4% in second quarter 1998, principally due to the 
Company selling a greater portion of non-commissionable tickets quarter over 
quarter. 

                                      10
<PAGE>

Depreciation and amortization increased by 0.05 CENTS or 26.3%.  The Company 
incurred approximately $374,000 and $295,000 of additional DC-9 overhaul and 
ground equipment depreciation and amortization, respectively, in second 
quarter 1998.

Other operating expenses per ASM increased by 0.10 CENTS or 6.9%.  The Company 
incurred approximately $1.8 million or 8.9% of additional other operating 
expenses in second quarter 1998. The increase primarily represents an 
aggregation of $1.7 million of additional advertising and promotion, 
professional and computer services, credit card processing, loss and damage 
and inflight media expenses over second quarter 1997.

Passenger revenues totaled $173.3 million during the six month period ended June
30, 1998, an increase of $7.8 million or 4.7% over passenger revenues of $165.5
million for the six month period ended June 30, 1997.  As indicated above, the
Company experienced period over period increases of $3.4 million and $4.8
million in its Interisland and Transpac passenger revenues, respectively,
primarily due to higher yields in both the Interisland and Transpac markets.

Overseas charter revenues totaled $18.1 million in the six month period ended
June 30, 1998, representing a decrease of $2.6 million or 12.4% from the six
month period ended June 30, 1997. Again, the decrease is associated with the
Company flying fewer charters per week to Las Vegas in the six month period
ended June 30, 1998 versus the six month period ended June 30, 1997 and general
price decreases period over period for its Las Vegas and Anchorage charter
flights.

</TABLE>

All fluctuations in operating expenses were affected by an overall increase in
ASM of approximately 1.3% period over period.  For the six month period ended
June 30, 1998, variances for wages and benefits, sales commissions, depreciation
and amortization and other operating expenses per ASM were primarily due to the
effects of the respective second quarter variances described earlier.  Other
significant period to period variances were as follows:

Aircraft Fuel Cost per ASM decreased in the six month period ended June 30, 1998
over the six month period ended June 30, 1997 by 0.21 CENTS or 14.1%.
Approximately $5.3 million or 12.8% less Aircraft Fuel Cost was incurred by the
Company in the six month period ended June 30, 1998 compared to the six month
period ended June 30, 1997.  Period over period, average cost of aircraft fuel
per gallon, excluding taxes, decreased by 10.5CENTS or 14.9%.

Maintenance materials and repairs per ASM increased by 0.12 CENTS or 8.7%. In
1998, the Company incurred approximately $4.0 million or 10.5% in additional
maintenance expense as compared to the same period in 1997 due to (i) $2.2
million more in DC-9 airframe and engine repairs and (ii) $1.8 million more in
DC-10 maintenance expense, the result of increased monthly maintenance rates as
described above and increased DC-10 flight hours flown in the first three months
of 1998.

                                      12
<PAGE>

Rentals and landing fees per ASM decreased by 0.12 CENTS or 18.8%.  As discussed
previously, the Company incurred approximately $3.0 million less in landing fees
in the six month period ended June 30, 1998 than in the six month period ended
June 30, 1997 as a result of the two-year moratorium placed on landing fees at
all airports in the State of Hawaii commencing September 1, 1997.

                        LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company believes that it has various options available to meet its capital,
debt and operating commitments, including cash and liquid short-term investment
securities on hand on June 30, 1998 of $33.0 million, internally generated funds
and a credit facility with total availability of $11.4 million as of June 30,
1998 with aggregate term loans and letters of credit outstanding in the amounts
of $5.2 million and $100,000, respectively.  The Company will continue to
consider various borrowing or leasing options to supplement its cash
requirements.

Cash and cash equivalents for the six month period ending June 30, 1998
increased by $16.3 million. Operating activities for the six month period ended
June 30, 1998 provided $21.6 million in cash and cash equivalents.  Operating
activities reflect the combined effects of (i) a $7.2 million increase in air
traffic liability, the result of advance bookings and ticket sales for
historically peak third quarter passenger traffic and (ii) miscellaneous changes
in other operating accounts due to timing and receipt of payments.  For the six
month period ended June 30, 1998, the Company expended $6.9 million of its $22.2
million in planned capital expenditures for 1998. Capitalized portions of
scheduled DC-9 checks and overhauls and continued investments in improved
software, related hardware and implementation costs represent a majority of
these capital expenditures.

                    DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

As of June 30, 1998, the Company utilized crude oil forward contracts to manage
market risks and hedge its financial exposure resulting from fluctuations in its
aircraft fuel costs.  The Company employs a strategy whereby crude oil contracts
are used to cover up to 45% of the Company's anticipated aircraft fuel needs on
a rolling twelve month basis.  

At June 30, 1998, the Company had petroleum forward contracts to purchase
165,000 barrels of crude oil in the aggregate amount of $2.7 million through
November 1998. These forward contracts represented approximately 8% of the
Company's anticipated 1998 aircraft fuel needs.  At June 30, 1998, the estimated
fair value and carrying value of these outstanding contracts was a net
receivable of $442,000.  Included as a component of Aircraft Fuel Cost are net
realized and unrealized losses on such contracts amounting to $463,000 and $1.3
million for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1998.

                   INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY SYSTEMS

The Company is currently in the process of bringing a number of major
information technology systems on line for strategic purposes as well as to
address issues associated with the year 2000.  These information technology
projects are designed to either replace or enhance existing systems, including
local and wide area networks, yield management, revenue and financial
accounting, human resources and payroll. Implementation of these systems is
scheduled for completion by end of 1998 to mid-1999, with external costs
expected to approximate $10 to $11 million in total.

In addition to replacing a number of core information systems, the Company is
also actively engaged in inventorying, assessing, and remediating systems that
may be impacted by the year 2000 issue.  The Company has hired a dedicated
director for year 2000 compliance and is working aggressively towards 

                                      13

mitigating the impact of the year 2000 date problem.  Current Company efforts 
are focused on identifying and remediating mission critical operations with 
the goal of maintaining safety with minimal disruption to customer services.

Along with the identification of information systems vulnerable to year 2000
issues, the Company is also conducting an exhaustive review of its hardware and
related systems to assess and mitigate any potential year 2000 risk.  Toward
this end, the Company has adopted a strategy of partnerships with industry and
trade associations, which will minimize duplication and overlap.

The Company is developing a project framework based on best practices currently
being used by other industry and government entities.  While the ultimate cost
of year 2000 compliance is unknown at this time, the Company believes it will
avoid substantial costs through its replacement of major information systems.
 
Because of the variables associated with the year 2000 date problem, management
cannot currently estimate the necessary commitment required to address all year
2000 system issues, give assurance that in-progress system transitions will be
sufficient or assure that the Company will not be affected by the year 2000
issue in some form or manner.
