Mokulele Airlines

Lāna'i will be getting federally subsidized air service for the first time. Mokulele Airlines and Pacific Air Charters have submitted competitive bids. Both are proposing 42 weekly round trips between Lānaʻi and Honolulu, and 21 weekly round trips to Maui. HPR's Catherine Cluett Pactol reports the selection process is currently underway.

Air travel is a lifeline for the community of Lānaʻi. However, the primary airline for the island's residents says it will need federal subsidies to continue the service. Lānaʻi and Molokaʻi were deemed Essential Air Service airports in 1983 but have never had subsidized service. As HPR's Catherine Cluett Pactol reports, that's about to change.

After waiting months to see specialists off-island, Moloka’i and Lāna’i residents say they often miss their appointments because of delayed or canceled flights. What's on the horizon to help? HPR's Catherine Cluett Pactol looks at possible solutions.

Rural island residents say they can’t count on flights because frequent airline delays are causing them to miss critical medical appointments. A bill moving through the state legislature seeks to improve air service reliability for Moloka’i and Lana’i patients. HPR’s Catherine Cluett Pactol reports.

Mokulele Airlines serves as a lifeline for the Molokaʻi and Lānaʻi communities, especially for critical medical appointments and off-island work. But residents say they can no longer depend on Mokulele to get them there. Catherine Cluett Pactol from The Molokai Dispatch has the story.
