Aloha Air Cargo had its beginnings as a unit of Aloha Airlines, a passenger airline that served Hawaii and US mainland destinations from 1946 to 2008 for 61 years.
Originally, Aloha's cargo business consisted of carrying freight in the cargo holds below the floors of regular passenger flights. Aloha's dual purpose Boeing 737-200QC aircraft, better known as 'quick change' aircraft, had the unique ability to convert from a passenger configuration to an exclusively cargo configuration in less than an hour. In the evening, pallets of seats were removed to accommodate the overnight cargo.
