Hawaii Tourism – Island Air to Stop Flights to Kapalua, Maui


Island Air has announced that effective May 31, 2013, they will no longer be offering flights to Kapalua Maui on the west coast of that island and will instead be only flying to the main airport in Kahului.  Island Air’s president, Les Murashige stated, “We regret that we will no longer serve Kapalua.  We are pleased that we can expand service to Kahului with the addition of our new ATR 72 aircraft.”  Murashige explained that Island Air would be replacing their planes from Dash 8 aircraft to the larger ATR 72 which were too large to land at Kapalua Airport.  This announcement will leave Mokulele Airlines as the only schedule carrier to fly in and out of Kapalua.
