(CNN) More than 200 Hawaiian Airlines passengers aboard Flight 33 said "Aloha" to Los Angeles — and it meant both hello and goodbye.

The plane was headed to Maui's Kahului Airport from Los Angeles International, but turned back three times, said Alex Da Silva, the airline's senior manager. Twice, the plane had already taken off.

The third time was not the charm, and Da Silva said the flight was finally canceled.
