Aloha Airlines 70's Flowers T-shirt Marlin Roland Leong wasn't just anyOriginally founded in 1946 under the name Trans Pacific Airlines, Aloha Airlines was launched by Ruddy F Tongg, Sr. with the concept of having an airline to connect California, Hawaii, and China. In its earlier years, the company was focused primarily on inter island flights in Hawaii and its service quickly led to the airline earning the nickname "The Aloha Airline", a name which was incorporated into the official name TPA The Aloha Airline in 1950.
