Hawaiian Airlines expects to see improved financial performance this year as it looks to fine-tune its network following its recent phase of rapid growth. Hawaiian CEO Mark Dunkerley says that 2014 will be “marked by the maturing of our network.” The carrier added a wide range of international routes over the past 18 months, and this surge in activity had “a dilutive impact” on the carrier’s financial performance. The carrier’s $51.9 million profit for 2013 was down slightly from the previous year’s $53.2 million gain.
