Hawaiian Airlines will begin charging customers $17 for a second checked bag on interisland flights.
The new fee, announced late Friday afternoon, goes into effect for tickets purchased on or after July 8 for travel on or after July 15.
The move by Hawaiian (owned by Hawaiian Holdings; Amex: HA) follows another interisland carrier, go!, which on Wednesday announced a $25 fee for a second checked bag.
Go! is operated by Phoenix-based Mesa Air Group (Nasdaq: MESA).
Hawaiian, like go!, said the baggage charge was due to the impact of fuel prices on operating expenses.
Some Hawaiian customers will be exempt from the fee, including first-class travelers; those with child car seats, strollers and carriers; and those needing wheelchairs, walkers, canes or crutches.
