Closing arguments in go! trial expected today

Advertiser Staff

Closing arguments in the trial over Hawaiian Airlines' lawsuit against the parent of go! airlines is scheduled for this afternoon.

Hawaiian is suing go! owner Mesa Air Group for allegedly using confidential business information to launch the low-cost carrier go! last year.

In yesterday's hearing in federal bankruptcy court, Mesa's expert, Colorado-based airline industry consultant Michael Boyd, testified that information obtained by Mesa about Hawaiian was not confidential and derived from public sources such as the U.S. Department of Transportation.
