Jeff Kurtzman, a Los Angeles-based flight attendant who joined the company in 1986, passed away in the night of July 21, 2020, in California, according to Hawaiian Airlines CEO Peter Ingram.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Ingram sent an email to Hawaiian Airlines employees on Wednesday, saying Kurtzman had ‘become well known to his In-Flight colleagues for his passion for discovering new places, people and cultures’ and was admired for his ‘terrific sense of humor and knack for easy conversation.'<\/p>\r\n\r\n

“He embodied the values of aloha and malama that we hold dear,” Ingram said in the email.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

“Our Flight Attendant union is heartbroken with the loss of our flying partner who is well-respected, loved, and a long-time part of our flying family,” said Joni Kashiwai, AFA-CWA president at Hawaiian Airlines in a statement.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

The union also says it’s “rededicating ourselves to fight for safety in the skies and throughout aviation.”<\/p>\r\n\r\n
