go! Airlines may have closed their doors to the Hawaii market on March 31, 2014, but Mokulele Airlines wants to get the word out as quickly as possible that they are 100% operational. There had been a confusion by some passengers that the two companies were one and the same, but Mokulele's Chief Executive Office, Ron Hansen, is quick to point out that this is not the case. Hansen, stated "We're having a significant number of no-shows because people believe we went out of business. We're still here. We're going to be here. It will be good when the ghost of go! goes away."
According to Hansen, go! and Mokulele were allowed to sell seats on each other flights, but the two companies are not affiliated in any other way. Hansen added, "go! is supposed to contact those passengers who had reservations. If passengers booked on go!'s website, through a travel agent or other means, we don't have a contact for them, just reserved seats. All we know is they're booked on our flight but didn't show. We won't charge them a change fee if there's a seat available when they fly. We just want to assure people that Mokulele is doing great and intends to be here at least another 16 years."
