Mokulele adding planes to aid scheduling for Lanai and Molokai
Southern Airways, the parent company of Mokulele Airlines, announced Monday that it will deploy $10 million in additional aircraft to Molokai and Lanai.
The airline has secured a third 28-seat Saab 340 aircraft to begin servicing Molokai and Lanai this summer. In the coming weeks, Mokulele plans to relocate three new nine-seat Tecnam Travellers from its current fleet on Guam to Hawaii to back up its Cessna Grand Caravans, which are rotating through heavy inspections and fleet refurbishment.
Mokulele also is withdrawing a daily flight from Kapalua, Hilo and Kona beginning in April to reassign those aircraft and crews when needed to Molokai and Lanai.
