This is going to be an uphill battle in Hawaii.

Hawaii is notoriously difficult to do business in, Hawaiian Airlines has become entrenched in protecting these routes, Southwest has been moderately effective but it's at a significant cost, and mokulele has had some serious negative press over the safety of their aircraft.

Part of the super ferry demise wasn't just NIMBYs' but entrenched politics and money.. glad you folks are brining some innovation and wish you luck on some much needed disruption.

I recently flew between Oahu and Molokai. My return flight was delayed seven hours. I literally could have paddled a canoe home faster. Mokulele deserves all the negative press it gets.

Are you working here? I would like to be involved in work like this when I get done with my masters… I was a pilot for many years and we need more sustainable air travel to rural and coastal communities.

How to follow along for news?

That's great to hear. Good luck!
