Officials: Mokulele filling void on Molokai and Lanai Lawmakers still concerned over wheelchair access
State and county lawmakers say Mokulele Airlines is currently meeting the needs of Molokai and Lanai since the departure of larger carrier ‘Ohana by Hawaiian, though they still have concerns over weight and accessibility issues with the smaller aircraft.
Hawaiian Airlines suspended its ‘Ohana by Hawaiian service to Lanai and Molokai and halted flights beginning Jan. 15. Low air traffic due to travel restrictions triggered a provision in labor contracts that prevented Hawaiian from offering its third-party passenger and all-cargo service, Hawaiian has said.
