HONOLULU — Hawaiian Airlines 31 dispatchers have overwhelmingly ratified a new four-year contract.

The announcement was made Monday in a joint news release issued by the airline and the Transport Workers Union.
It says the contract provides increased pay and benefits, as well as profit sharing for the dispatchers and operational improvements for the company.
Airline President and CEO Mark Dunkerley says the pact is consistent with the one ratified by Hawaiian flight attendants earlier this year and with proposals offered all of the company’s union groups.
Hawaiian is involved in federally mediated negotiations with the Air Line Pilots Association and with the International Association of Machinists.
The pilots have said their contract talks have reached an impasse.
